Abstract

A semiconductor integrated circuit device according to the invention includes an N-type embedded diffusion region between a substrate and a first epitaxial layer in island regions serving as small signal section. The substrate and the first epitaxial layer are thus partitioned by the N-type embedded diffusion region having supply potential in the island regions serving as small signal section. This structure prevents the inflow of free carriers (electrons) generated from a power NPN transistor due to the back electromotive force of the motor into the small signal section, thus preventing the malfunction of the small signal section.
