Abstract

A high voltage/power semiconductor device using a low voltage logic well is provided. The semiconductor device includes a substrate, a first well region formed by being doped in a first location on a surface of the substrate, a second well region formed by being doped with impurity different from the first well region's in a second location on a surface of the substrate, an overlapping region between the first well region and the second well region where the first well region and the second well region substantially coexist, a gate insulating layer formed on the surface of the first and the second well regions and the surface of the overlapping region, a gate electrode formed on the gate insulating layer, a source region formed on an upper portion of the first well region, and a drain region formed on an upper portion of the second well region. The semiconductor device may also include a separating unit, which is formed in the second well region on the drain side and may be formed as a shallow trench isolation (STI) region having a lower depth than the second well region.
