Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a P-type semiconductor substrate, a plurality of N-type buried diffusion layers that are arranged in the semiconductor substrate, an N-type first semiconductor layer that is arranged in a first region on a first buried diffusion layer, an N-type second semiconductor layer that is arranged in a second region on a second buried diffusion layer, an N-type first impurity diffusion region that surrounds the first region in plan view, a P-type second impurity diffusion region that is arranged in the second semiconductor layer, an N-type third impurity diffusion region that is arranged in the second semiconductor layer, an N-type fourth impurity diffusion region that is arranged in the first semiconductor layer. The second region is a region in which an N-type impurity diffusion region that has a higher impurity concentration than the second semiconductor layer cannot be arranged.
