Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a MOS transistor which is coupled between two terminals and discharges current which flows caused by generation of static electricity and a diode which is coupled between a back gate of the MOS transistor and one of the terminal and has a polarity which is reversed to the polarity of a parasitic diode which is formed between the back gate and a source of the MOS transistor.
