Abstract
The present invention discloses a semiconductor device and relates to the semiconductor field. The semiconductor device comprises: a PMOS transistor for processing a input signal, the PMOS transistor comprising a gate and a source, the source being connected to a first voltage source; and a restoring circuit connected to the PMOS transistor for preventing degradation of the PMOS transistor, wherein the restoring circuit makes the gate voltage of the PMOS transistor to be higher than the voltage of the first voltage source, when the input signal is at a high level. According to the semiconductor device of the present invention, a positive bias voltage is applied on the gate of the PMOS transistor through the restoring circuit when the PMOS transistor is turned off, which can accelerate electric parameter recovery for PMOS transistors and therefore improve the performance of PMOS transistors.
