Abstract

An intelligent power element has integrated DMOS transistors and control elements such as NMOS transistors. Impurity concentration inside a channel well (4) of each DMOS transistor is denser than that at the surface thereof. This results in reducing the reach-through withstand voltage of the DMOS transistor to less than that of the NMOS transistor. As a result, a reach-through phenomenon occurs on the DMOS transistor having a higher allowable (withstand) current before it occurs on the NMOS transistor having a lower allowable current. To provide the same effect, the reach-through withstand voltage of the DMOS transistor may be decreased by forming an internal high concentration well (201) at an upper part of a deep main well (31) of the DMOS transistor. The well (201) is shallower than the main well (31) and does not extend under a gate electrode (71).
