Abstract
A semiconductor device including a first transistor in a substrate, a second transistor in the substrate, and a further device in the substrate. The second transistor and the further device are arranged to operate at a second voltage which is higher than a first voltage. The first voltage is the (normal) voltage of operation of the first transistor, and the first transistor is isolated from the second voltage.
