<p>The semiconductor device comprises a gate electrode (26) formed on a semiconductor substrate (10), a source region (45a) having a lightly doped source region (42a) and a heavily doped source region (44a), a drain region (45b) having a lightly doped drain region (42b) and a heavily doped drain region (44b), a first silicide layer (40c) formed on the source region, a second silicide layer (40d) formed on the drain region, a first conductor plug (54) connected to the first silicide layer and a second conductor plug (54) connected to the second silicide layer. The heavily doped drain region is formed in the region of the lightly doped region except the peripheral region, and the second silicide layer is formed in the region of the heavily doped drain region except the peripheral region. Thus, the concentration of the electric fields on the drain region can be mitigated when voltages are applied to the drain region. Thus, even with the silicide layer formed on the source/drain region, sufficiently high withstand voltages of the high withstand voltage transistor can be ensured. Furthermore, the drain region alone has the above-described structure, whereby the increase of the source-drain electric resistance can be prevented while high withstand voltages can be ensured.</p> |
