Abstract
In a lateral double-diffused field effect transistor of the present invention, a gate insulating film includes a first gate insulating film covering a source diffusion layer up to a region beyond the pattern of a body diffusion layer and a second gate insulating film having a film thickness larger than that of the first gate insulating film and covering a region closer to a drain diffusion layer than the region covered by the first gate insulating film. A boundary between the first gate insulating film and the second gate insulating film is composed of a straight portion parallel to a side of the pattern of the body diffusion layer and a corner portion surrounding an vertex of the pattern of the body diffusion layer from a distance. A distance between the vertex of the pattern of the body diffusion layer and the corner portion of the boundary is equal to or smaller than a distance between the side of the pattern of the body diffusion layer and the straight portion of the boundary.
