There is provided a semiconductor device of low power consumption and high
reliability having DTMOS' and substrate-bias variable transistors, and portable
electronic equipment using the semiconductor device. On a semiconductor substrate
(11), trilayer well regions (12, 14, 16; 13, 15, 16) are formed,
and DTMOS' (29, 30) and substrate-bias variable transistors (27, 28)
are provided in the shallow well regions (16, 17). Large-width device isolation
regions (181, 182, 183) are provided at boundaries forming PNP, NPN or NPNP
structures, where a small-width device isolation region (18) is provided
on condition that well regions on both sides are of an identical conductive type.
Thus, a plurality of well regions of individual conductive types where substrate-bias
variable transistors (27, 28) of individual conductive types are provided
can be made electrically independent of one another, allowing the power consumption
to be reduced. Besides, the latch-up phenomenon can be suppressed.
