Abstract

The present invention discloses a high voltage cut-off semiconductor device that can prevent unstable supply voltage of several volts that is not cut off by a conventional electrostatic discharge protection circuit from being applied to an internal circuit and apply only stable supply voltage to the internal circuit, thereby enhancing the characteristics of the semiconductor device and shortening the channel length of the transistors forming the internal circuit by suing a constant voltage circuit having a zener diode.
