Abstract
The present invention provides a high breakdown voltage transistor that eases an electric field concentration caused between a gate and a drain. The present invention provides a semiconductor device comprising: a first gate electrode formed above a semiconductor substrate through a gate insulating film; a second gate electrode that is formed above the semiconductor substrate through the gate insulating film, and that is arranged at the side of the first gate electrode through an insulating spacer; a source region and a drain region formed on the semiconductor substrate so as to sandwich the first and second gate electrodes; and an electric-field concentration easing region that is formed to sandwich some region of the semiconductor substrate below the first gate electrode, and that is formed to be overlapped with the second gate electrode and the source and drain regions.
