A semiconductor device able to improve surge discharge capacity of a protection element (diodes in different direction each other) without changing parameter of a transistor and increasing cost drastically, having a transistor and a protection element at separated regions of semiconductor layers formed on a semiconductor substrate, which the semiconductor layers includes: a barrier layer of nondoped semiconductor formed on its surface with a gate electrode of the transistor; a first conductive type semiconductor region formed in a single or several semiconductor layers including the barrier layer as a topmost layer in a protection element side; and two second conductive type semiconductor regions formed at separated two regions in the barrier layer where the first conductive type semiconductor region is formed, which are formed with protection diodes of different direction each other at contacting surfaces with the first conductive type semiconductor region.
