Appeal No. 2004-0581 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. 3Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
