Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a laminated substrate; a removal portion; a cavity; a first semiconductor element; and a second semiconductor element. In the laminated substrate, a bulk layer, an insulating layer, and a semiconductor layer are laminated in this order from a bottom. The laminated substrate includes a first area, a second area adjacent to the first area, and a third area adjacent to the second area in each of the layers. The semiconductor layer, the insulating layer, and an upper portion of the bulk layer in the first area are removed to form the removal portion. A part of the bulk layer in the second area is removed to form the cavity adjacent to the removal portion. The first semiconductor element is formed in the bulk layer in the removal portion as an ESD protection element. The second semiconductor element is formed partially in the semiconductor layer in the second area.
