Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprising:a first semiconductor region of a first conductivity type;a transistor having diffusion regions of a second conductivity type which are formed in said first semiconductor region as source and drain regions, and including a gate electrode provided on a channel region located between said source and drain regions with an insulating film interposing therebetween;interconnects of at least two layers, which are made of conductive layers above said gate electrode and which are electrically connected with each other; anda second semiconductor region of a second conductivity type formed in said first semiconductor region and separated from the source and drain regions of said transistor, said second semiconductor region and said first semiconductor region constituting a diode, said second semiconductor region being isolated from said source and drain regions by a device isolation insulating film, and said second semiconductor being electrically connected to one of said at least two layers and said gate electrode.
