Abstract
Improving reliability of a semiconductor device including a transistor and resistance portion. Providing a semiconductor device including: a transistor including a gate portion and second conductivity type well layer, provided on a substrate having a first conductivity type drift region; a resistance portion provided close to a well layer of the transistor in the substrate; and two terminals connected to the resistance portion. The resistance portion is not of a second conductivity type region formed on the substrate. The semiconductor device further includes: an output transistor portion to switch whether or not the semiconductor device outputs current; a control transistor portion provided to a control protection circuit for controlling the output transistor portion; and a detection transistor portion to detect whether or not a power supply short-circuit is occurring to the semiconductor device. The transistor may be any of the output transistor portion, control transistor portion, or control transistor portion.
