Abstract
An input protection circuit is formed on a semiconductor substrate. A resistive element of an impurity diffusion region is electrically isolated from a main region of the substrate by a first double well structure. A bipolar transistor is connected to the resistive element which is electrically isolated from the main region of the substrate by a second double well structure. An input pad is connected to the bipolar transistor.
