Abstract
A semiconductor integrated circuit comprising a first circuit block including an oscillation circuit considered to be a noise generator and a second circuit block including circuits considered to be easily affected by a noise generated by the oscillation circuit, being most likely led to a malfunction are created on a single semiconductor substrate with the first and second circuit blocks separated from each other. To put it more concretely, the first and second circuit blocks are respectively created in a first island area and a second island area on the surface of the semiconductor substrate. The first and second island areas are each enclosed by an insulating isolation band. A low-resistance semiconductor area is created in a base area excluding locations occupied by active elements in the first and second island areas and is connected to a stable voltage terminal.
