A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a pair of low breakdown voltage elements formed in the substrate so as to be adjacent to each other, and a high breakdown voltage element formed to be adjacent to one of the low breakdown voltage elements. The pair of low breakdown voltage elements are isolated from each other by a pn junction and the one of the low breakdown voltage elements and the high breakdown voltage element are isolated from each other by a dielectric material. The semiconductor substrate is a composite substrate formed by directly bonding a first substrate serving as an element region to a second substrate serving as a supporting member through an insulating film. |
