Abstract

A charge pump device is configured to generate an output voltage from a square wave, where the charge pump device includes a semiconductor layer; first and second outer wells; a first inner well formed in the first outer well; a second inner well formed in the second outer well; a first capacitor, to which the input signal is applied, and connected to the first outer well; and a second capacitor connected to the first capacitor and second outer well, wherein the first voltage is applied to the first outer well, and a voltage that is lower than the first voltage is applied to the second outer well.
