Abstract
A p-type high concentration doped region is formed in a p-type semiconductor substrate between a n-type doped region as part of an input protection circuit and another n-type doped region as part of internal circuitry. A plate is divided into two over the high concentration doped region. The high concentration doped region suppresses generation of a parasitic MOS transistor with the plate for a gate, one of the n-type doped regions for a source, and the other for a drain.
