Abstract

A semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) type semiconductor device with an enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) tolerance having a semiconductor layer on an insulating support substrate, comprising a pair of voltage supply lines formed on the semiconductor layer, a pair of low resistivity semiconductor regions connected to said pair of source supplying lines and disposed within the layer, and a dielectric region disposed between said pair of low resistivity semiconductor regions; wherein said pair of low resistivity semiconductor regions form a capacitor.
