Abstract
Even in the case where negative current flows in a semiconductor device, the potential of a semiconductor substrate is prevented from becoming lower than the potential of a deep semiconductor layer which is a component of a circuit element, and a parasitic element is prevented from operating, which accordingly prevents malfunction of the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes the n-type semiconductor substrate, a power element, the circuit element, and an external circuit. The external circuit includes a power supply, a resistive element having one end connected to the power supply, and a diode having its anode electrode connected to the other end of the resistive element and its cathode electrode connected to the ground. To the other end of the resistive element, a semiconductor layer is connected.
