The semiconductor regions for source and drain of unused p-channel type
MISFETQp and the power supply wiring 2VDD are electrically connected and
the semiconductor regions for source and drain of n-channel type MISFETQn
and the power supply wiring 2VSS are electrically connected. Moreover,
the switch elements 3SW1, 3SW2 are formed of the p-channel type MISFETQp
and n-channel type MISFETQn in the basic cells and these switch elements
3SW1, 3SW2 are discretely arranged in the n-well NWL and p-well PWL.
Thereby, noise generated in the wells can be reduced in the semiconductor
device where the switch elements are provided between the power supply
wiring and wells and the threshold voltage of transistor formed in the
well can be controlled through the ON/OFF controls of such switch
elements.
