Abstract
In a semiconductor device such as a three-phase one-chip gate driver IC, HVNMOSs configuring two set and reset level shift circuits are disposed on non-opposed surfaces, and it is thereby possible to reduce the amount of electrons flowing into drains of HVNMOSs of another phase due to a negative voltage surge. Also, distances from an opposed surface on the opposite side to the respective drains of the HVNMOSs configuring the two set and reset level shift circuits are made equal to or more than 150 μm, and it is thereby possible to prevent a malfunction of a high side driver circuit of another phase to which no negative surge is applied.
