1. A semiconductor device comprising:
a high side switching element formed on a first semiconductor substrate;
a high side driver circuit formed on the first semiconductor substrate in a monolithic manner with the high side switching element and driving the high side switching element;
a low side switching element formed on a second semiconductor substrate separate from the first semiconductor substrate; and
a low side driver circuit formed on the first semiconductor substrate in a monolithic manner with the high side driver circuit and driving the low side switching element.
