US Patent 7728386 Semiconductor integrated circuit device

The invention provides a CMOS integrated circuit capable of carrying out an operation at a comparatively high supply voltage, comprising a first MOS type transistor having a drain profile to come in contact with a gate through a low concentration region having an impurity concentration which is equal to or lower than a predetermined concentration at a drain end, and a second MOS type transistor and transfer gate having the same polarity which is connected to a gate of the first MOS type transistor, wherein a gate voltage is applied to the gate of the first MOS type transistor through the second MOS type transistor and transfer gate to which a predetermined potential (a shielding voltage) is applied.
