Soft-error resistance and latch up resistance are simultaneously improved
for LSI involving miniaturization and reducing operating voltage. P wells
and N wells are formed in a higher density substrate (P on P+ substrate),
and buried N wells are formed on a layer underlying thereof. A PMOSFET is
formed in the N well and a NMOSFET is formed in the P well. A P well
electric potential junction for coupling P well electric potential of the
P well to predetermined electric potential is provided, and a region
directly under the P well electric potential junction is provided with a
region where the aforementioned buried N well is not disposed. The
soft-error resistance is improved by having the buried N well therein,
and the latch up resistance is improved by coupling the P well to the
substrate.
