Abstract
A terrace insulating film (SL) to be overridden by a gate electrode (G) of an nLDMOS device is configured by LOCOS, and a device isolation portion (SS) is configured by STI. Furthermore, on an outermost periphery of an active region where a plurality of nLDMOS devices are formed, a guard ring having the same potential as that of a drain region (D) is provided. And, via this guard ring, the device isolation portion (SS) is formed in a periphery of the active region, thereby not connecting but isolating the terrace insulating film (SL) and the device isolation portion (SS) from each other.
