Abstract

A semiconductor device has, in one embodiment, two wells of different conductivity types formed in a semiconductor substrate. The two wells are arranged to be adjacent to each other to form a junction therebetween. A field oxide film is formed to cover the junction at a main surface of the semiconductor substrate. Other field oxide films or field-shield isolation structures may be formed to isolate circuit elements from one another in the wells.
