Abstract
Abstract A semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor substrate of N conductivity, a semiconductor well of P conductivity type, a first semiconductor region of P conductivity type formed in the substrate, the first semiconductor region forming a source region or a drain region in a first MOS transistor of P channel type, a second semiconductor region of N conductivity type formed in the well, the second semiconductor region forming a source region or a drain region in a second MOS transistor of N channel type, and a third semiconductor region of P conductivity type for partially covering the peripheral and bottom surfaces of said second region, which are in the proximity of a boundary defined between the substrate and the well, the third semiconductor region having an impurity concentration higher than that of the well.
