    摘要: At least one slit having a predetermined shape is formed around a contact region of a lower wiring layer formed on a substrate, and an insulating portion formed integrally with an insulating layer is embedded in this slit. This insulating layer is formed on the lower wiring layer and has a contact hole located at a position corresponding to the contact region. Since the insulating portion as a rectangular projecting portion projects into the slit downwardly from the rigid insulating layer, positional errors caused by thermal expansion of the lower wiring layer in annealing of the upper wiring layer can be suppressed, and an abnormal geometry such as a projection on the upper wiring layer can be prevented. In addition, a semiconductor device free from interwiring short-circuiting and excellent in flatness can be obtained.

In particular, back gates (i.e., the N-type well) of the first second and third P-channel transistors (P1, P4 and P2) are all connected to a source of the P-channel transistor (P2), respectively. Therefore, it is possible to prevent unnecessary current from flowing to the supply voltage terminal of the bus hold circuit, even if an output circuit supplied with a supply voltage different from that of the bus hold circuit is connected to the bus line.

    摘要: Either the power-supply potential or a ground potential is applied to a power-supply node through a switch. When a potential higher than the ground potential is applied to an output terminal while the power-supply node is connected to the ground-potential node, the potential of a back gate of a first PMOS transistor incorporated in an output section increases in accordance with the potential of the output terminal, due to a pn-junction provided between the drain and back gate of the first PMOS transistor. At this time, a second PMOS transistor whose source-drain path is connected between the back gate and gate of the first PMOS transistor is turned on, whereby the potential of the back gate of the first PMOS transistor is transferred to the gate thereof.
