Abstract

A MIS capacitor to be implemented in a semiconductor device employing various or predetermined circuits, has a dielectric side electrode which is in contact with a buried layer provided on a semiconductor substrate through a dielectric film and a buried layer-side electrode connected to the buried layer. The buried layer-side electrode of the MIS capacitor is connected to a low-impedance side of the circuit employed therewith. This structure, when connected as such, is capable of reducing the influence of noise attributed to an .alpha.-ray and thereby operating the circuit stably. The semiconductor device using a MIS capacitor invention is adaptable to an emitter follower circuit and various logic circuits for preventing malfunction resulting from .alpha.-ray radiation.
