摘要： A semiconductor integrated circuit producing a given output voltage includes first and second operational amplifiers, and first and second transistors. The first and second operational amplifiers detect a voltage difference between a voltage applied to an input terminal and at least one reference voltage. The first and second transistors are turned ON or turned OFF according to the levels of voltages output from the first and second operational amplifiers. The first operational amplifier receives the output voltage at the input terminal. When the level of the output voltage becomes lower than the reference voltage, the first operational amplifier allows the first transistor to operate so as to raise the output voltage. In contrast, the second operational amplifier receives the output voltage at the input terminal. When the level of the output voltage exceeds the reference voltage, the second operational amplifier allows the second transistor to operate so as to lower the output voltage.

摘要： According to a semiconductor memory for one aspect of the present invention, a memory cell transistor is formed in a P-type first well region which is formed at the surface of a P-type semiconductor substrate, and a back bias voltage is applied to the P-type first well region and the P-type substrate. Further, an N-type retrograde region is formed by implanting a high energy N-type impurity, so that a deeper, N-type second well region is formed by employing the N-type retrograde region. Further, a P-type third well region is formed in the N-type second well region, and a P-type emitter region is also formed therein. Thus, together the P-type emitter region, the N-type second well region, and the P-type third well region constitute a lateral PNP transistor. In addition, the ground voltage is maintained for the P-type third well region, which serves as a collector region.
