Functional circuits such as a processor, an SRAM, a DRAM and a
flash-EEPROM are mounted on a semiconductor chip. Of these functional
circuits, for example, the flash-EEPROM which fluctuates a potential of
the semiconductor chip is separated from the other circuits by means of a
separating region provided in the semiconductor chip. In addition, the
separating region is put in contact with the entire side faces of the
semiconductor chip.
