Abstract:

Between a source electrode (25) of a main device (24) and a current sensing electrode (22) of a current detection device (21), a resistor for detecting current is connected. Dielectric withstand voltage of gate insulator (36) is larger than a product of the resistor and maximal current flowing through the current detection device (21) with reverse bias. A diffusion length of a p-body region (32) of the main device (24) is shorter than that of a p-body (31) of the current detection device (21). A curvature radius at an end portion of the p-body region (32) of the main device (24) is smaller than that of the p-body (31) of the current detection device (21). As a result, at the inverse bias, electric field at the end portion of the p-body region (32) of the main device (24) becomes stronger than that of the p-body region (31) of the current detection device (21). Consequently, avalanche breakdown tends to occur earlier in the main device 24 than the current detection device (21).

Abstract(Chinese):

在主装置（24）的源电极（25）和电流检测装置（21）的电流检测电极（22）之间连接用于检测电流的电阻器。栅极绝缘体（36）的介电耐受电压大于电阻器和流过电流检测装置（21）的反向偏压的最大电流的乘积。主装置（24）的p体区域（32）的扩散长度短于电流检测装置（21）的p体（31）的扩散长度。主装置（24）的p体区域（32）的端部的曲率半径比电流检测装置（21）的p体（31）的曲率半径小。结果，在逆偏压下，主装置（24）的p体区域（32）的端部的电场变得比电流检测装置的p体区域（31）的电场强 21）。因此，主装置24中的雪崩击穿比电流检测装置（21）更容易发生。
