Abstract
An object of the present invention is to further improve electric characteristics such as ON-resistance or an ON-breakdown voltage in a semiconductor device having a lateral MOS transistor. In a semiconductor device having a lateral MOS transistor, a buried electrode is formed at a part of an isolation insulating film located between a drain region and a gate electrode. The buried electrode includes a buried part. The buried part is formed from the surface of the isolation insulating film up to a depth corresponding to a thickness thinner than that of the isolation insulating film. The buried electrode is electrically coupled to the drain region.
