Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate having a major surface and both an element-forming region and an outer peripheral voltage-withstanding region that are provided on the major surface side of the semiconductor substrate. The element-forming region includes both a cell region for forming a power element and a circuit element region for forming at least one circuit element. The circuit element region is interposed between the outer peripheral voltage-withstanding region and the cell region. The outer peripheral voltage-withstanding region includes a boundary region that adjoins the element-forming region. In the boundary region, there is provided one or more voltage-withstanding regions. At least one of the one or more voltage-withstanding regions has a withstand voltage lower than both the withstand voltages of the cell region and the circuit element region.
