          Application No. 09/041,105                                                  

                    wherein during operation, the second conduction-type              
               well relatively low in impurity density is capable of being            
               depleted.                                                              
               10.   A semiconductor device having a separation                       
               structure for high withstand-voltage comprising:                       
                    a first-conduction-type semiconductor substrate;                  
                    a second-conduction-type well relatively high in                  
               impurity density, said second-conduction-type well being               
               formed on a surface of said first-conduction-type                      
               semiconductor substrate;                                               
                    a first-conduction-type epitaxial region formed on said           
               first-conduction-type semiconductor substrate above said               
               second-conduction-type well; and                                       
                    a second-conduction-type well relatively low in                   
               impurity density, said second-conduction-type well being               
               formed in said first-conduction-type epitaxial region at a             
               depth to reach said second-conduction-type well relatively             
               high in impurity density in an area including said second-             
               conduction-type well relatively high in impurity density               
               except for a predetermined portion above said second-                  
               conduction-type well relatively high in impurity density,              
               wherein said second conduction type well relatively low in             
               impurity density extends substantially beyond an outer                 
               peripheral portion of said second conduction type well                 
               relatively high in impurity density,                                   
                    wherein during operation, the second conduction-type              
               well relatively low in impurity density is capable of being            
               depleted.
