ABSTRACT:
Electrostatical breakage of a semiconductor device, including an epitaxial layer and a buried layer thereunder, connected to an outer signal terminal, can be prevented by forming an impurity region in the epitaxial layer so as to form a PN junction between the buried layer and the impurity region. The impurity region is connected to a power source or ground.
