Abstract
A semiconductor device includes: a SOI substrate having a SOI layer, a buried oxide layer and a support substrate; multiple first separation trenches on the SOI layer; multiple MOS transistors, each of which is surrounded with one first separation trench; a second separation trench on the SOI layer including n-ply field trenches; and multiple field regions such that a k-th field region is surrounded with a k-th field trench. One MOS transistor is disposed in each field region. The MOS transistors are connected in series. The first MOS transistor has a gate terminal as an input terminal. The n-th MOS transistor is connected to the power source potential through an output resistor. The n-th field region has an electric potential, which is fixed to the power source potential.
