Abstract

A complementary type MOS transistor device is disclosed including a p-channel type MOS transistor having source, drain and gate regions formed in the n-well region which is formed in the surface area of a p-type semiconductor layer and an n-channel MOS transistor having source, drain and gate regions formed in said semiconductor layer. The semiconductor layer is formed on an n-type semiconductor body and a reverse bias voltage is applied between the semiconductor layer and the semiconductor substrate.
