Abstract

Abstract A semiconductor device having an SOI structure comprises an insular single crystal silicon body formed on an insulator layer, a first region of a first type semiconductor and source and drain regions of a second type semiconductor provided in the insular single crystal silicon body so that the first region is provided between the source and drain regions, a second region of the first type semiconductor in contact with the first region formed along a side of the source and drain regions, and a contact region of the first type semiconductor having an impurity density higher than those of the first and second regions formed in contact with the second region, so that a fixed voltage can be applied to the first region via the contact region.
