Abstract

A high-voltage semiconductor integrated circuit consists of an N.sup.- -type substrate, a P.sup.+-type diffusion layer formed on the surface region of the substrate, an N.sup.+-type diffusion layer formed on the P.sup.+-type diffusion layer, and an N.sup.--type epitaxial layer formed on the substrate, forming a high voltage-proof transistor against voltage more than one thousand and several hundred volts. Also, an N.sup.- substrate (collector), N.sup.+-type diffusion layer, and N.sup.+-type diffusion layer, are integrated therewith to form a low-voltage-proof transistor, diode, and PNPN diode in the epitaxial layer so that the entire circuit may take the form of a high voltage-proof power component plus a low voltage-proof control circuit.
