ある。2. Description of the Related Art With the spread of portable terminals, a small-sized and large-capacity lithium-ion battery has been required. The protection circuit for performing the battery management of the charging and discharging of the lithium ion battery must be smaller and capable of sufficiently withstanding a load short due to the need for reducing the weight of the portable terminal. Such a protection circuit is required to be miniaturized because it is built in a container of a lithium ion battery, and a COB (Chip on Boar) using a lot of chip components is required.
d) Technology has been used to meet the demand for miniaturization. However, on the other hand, a power MOS in series with a lithium ion battery
Since the FET is connected, there is a need to make the on-resistance of the power MOSFET extremely small, which is an indispensable factor for a mobile phone to increase the talk time and the standby time.

れればよい。FIG. 4 shows the cross-sectional structure of the Zener diode 2 on the right side. Using polysilicon deposited when the polysilicon is buried in the trench 24 on the gate oxide film 25 covering the channel layer 23, the whole is first doped into P − type, and then N is selectively implanted during the ion implantation of the source region 28. The zener diode 2 is formed by doping into a + type. That is, the N + type region −P − type region −N concentrically from the center.
A + type region-P - type region-N + type region-P - type region-N + type region, and six Zener diodes are connected in series. Further, the upper surface of the polysilicon is formed by PSG (Phosp).
The gate pad electrode 1 is in contact with the N + type region at the center of the Zener diode 2. Since the PN junction forming the Zener diode 2 is formed of polysilicon, a closed loop shape is adopted on a concentric circle so that the junction end is not exposed on the side surface of the polysilicon. Therefore, when a Zener breakdown voltage of 30 V is required for the Zener diode 2, the Zener breakdown voltage per PN junction is 5 to 7 V, so that six PN junctions may be formed concentrically.

In the OSFET, the PN junctions of the Zener diode 2 are arranged concentrically in order to prevent leakage current. Therefore, when a high Zener breakdown voltage of, for example, 50 V is required for the Zener diode 2, ten PN junctions must be arranged concentrically. In other words, the size of the polysilicon forming the Zener diode 2 narrows the actual operation region, and there is a problem that a certain reduction in cell density cannot be avoided even if the cell structure is a trench type.

なく容易に実現できる利点を有する。According to the present invention, first, the polysilicon layer 19 is formed in the trench 24 in an elongated stripe shape,
The zener diode 2 can be formed by forming an N + region and a P − region having the same size in a zebra shape. Therefore,
Since the variation in the impurity concentration due to the diffusion of the N + region can be reduced and the variation in the Zener breakdown voltage of each PN junction can be reduced as compared with the conventional concentric shape, the predetermined number can be reduced by increasing or decreasing the number of PN junctions in the trench 24. Has the advantage that the Zener breakdown voltage of the Zener diode 2 can be easily realized without increasing its area.
