An improved flip-flop circuit is provided which prevents the occurrence of soft errors due to .alpha. rays and the like emitted from a trace amount of radioactive materials contained in a semiconductor package material. The flip-flop circuit has a first logic circuit which holds data and produces a first logic signal and a second logic circuit which produces a second logic signal. A logic gate receives the first and second logic signals that are produced from the first and second logic circuits and which have the same logic level. The output of the logic gate is input to the first logic circuit through a feedback loop which is provided between the output and the input of the first logic circuit and which includes the logic gate. According to the circuit construction of the present invention, a flip-flop circuit can be accomplished which is resistant to the radioactive rays such as .alpha. rays and does not cause soft errors.

A transistor circuit of this invention comprises a first transistor for receiving a first bias at its base, resistor means connected to the collector of the first transistor and clamp means connected to the junction between the first transistor and the resistor means, and obtains an output from a terminal of the resistor on the opposite to its junction with the first transistor. When a noise current due to .alpha. rays develops in the first transistor and the output is lowered, the clamp means operates in such a manner that the current flows through the clamp means and prevents the change of the output. The transistor circuit of this invention is connected to a resistor or a transistor and operates as a constant current circuit for supplying a current to the resistor or the transistor so that the current flowing therethrough becomes constant. For example, it is used as a constant current source of an emitter follower to constitute a level shift circuit. It is disposed in a feedback part and used as a constant current source in a logic circuit comprising a logic part consisting of a differential transistor circuit and the feedback part for negatively feeding back the in-phase output of the differential transistor circuit.

A MIS capacitor to be implemented in a semiconductor device employing various or predetermined circuits, has a dielectric side electrode which is in contact with a buried layer provided on a semiconductor substrate through a dielectric film and a buried layer-side electrode connected to the buried layer. The buried layer-side electrode of the MIS capacitor is connected to a low-impedance side of the circuit employed therewith. This structure, when connected as such, is capable of reducing the influence of noise attributed to an .alpha.-ray and thereby operating the circuit stably. The semiconductor device using a MIS capacitor invention is adaptable to an emitter follower circuit and various logic circuits for preventing malfunction resulting from .alpha.-ray radiation.

An ECL flip-flop circuit has a data holding differential transistor pair and a feedback circuit provided between the collectors and bases of this differential transistor pair. The feedback circuit includes a resistor connected between the bases of the data holding differential transistor pair, a pair of switching means for selectively terminating one end or the other of the resistor, and a pair of feedback transistors each adapted to receive at its base the collector potential of one transistor or the other of the differential transistor pair and to form an emitter follower circuit with the resistor selectively included therein. Thus, it is possible to prevent a malfunction of the ECl flip-flop circuit due to .alpha.-particles or the like.

Flip-flops are disposed corresponding to input circuits or output circuits of an integrated logic circuit so as to be cascaded to configure a shift register for a test and to enable a parallel transfer of data between each flip-flop and a corresponding input or output circuit. As a result, without connecting the probe to all terminals of the LSI, test signals can be supplied from some terminals via all input circuits to an internal circuit so as to conduct a diagnosis.
