Therefore, the width of the depletion layer extending from the surface facing the second well region 23 to the drift region 21 is wider than the width of the depletion layer extending from the surface facing the first well region 22 to the drift region 21. Therefore, even when the impurity concentration of the first well region 22 is set low in order to form the inversion layer in the first well region 22, the depletion layer spreading from the surface facing the second well region 23 causes the drift region 21 to have a low impurity concentration.

Therefore, the width of the depletion layer extending from the surface facing the second well region 23 to the drift region 21 is particularly wide. However, even when the second well region 23 and the drift region 21 are not in contact with each other, the depletion layer spreads from the surface facing the second well region 23 to the drift region 21.
- the impurity concentration of the substrate 10 is lower than the impurity concentration in the drift region. Therefore, the depletion layer generated on the surface facing the substrate 10 spreads mainly in the drift region 21 as compared with the substrate 10.
- the distance between the source region 24 and the drift region 21 is longer than the distance between the second well region 23 and the drift region 21 in the direction parallel to the main surface of the substrate 10. That is, the second well region 23 is arranged at a position closer to the drift region 21 than the source region 24.

- the capacitance value Csub is smaller as the depletion layer formed in the drift region 21 is wider.
- the width of the depletion layer formed in the drift region 21 is related to the impurity concentration in the p-type region in contact with the drift region 21.

- the inversion layer is formed in the well region 22a, the impurity concentration in the well region 22a cannot be increased. Therefore, the depletion layer formed at the interface between the well region 22a and the drift region 21 extends not only to the drift region 21 but also to the well region 22a. Therefore, in the semiconductor device 1a, the substrate capacity cannot be sufficiently reduced, and there is a possibility that a malfunction due to noise may occur in another semiconductor device.

Therefore, the width of the depletion layer extending from the surface facing the second well region 23 to the drift region 21 is wider than the width of the depletion layer extending from the surface facing the first well region 22 to the drift region 21. Therefore, the capacitance value Csub of the substrate capacitance is smaller in the semiconductor device 1 than in the semiconductor device 1a of the comparative example which does not have the second well region 23.
