Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the semiconductor field, and in particular to a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device. Background Art
[0002] In power management technology, MOS tubes controlled by protection circuits are usually connected in series in the loop for charge and discharge protection. In order to meet the charging speed requirements when the power is charged, the on-resistance of the MOS tube needs to be as small as possible.
