Provided is a semiconductor device having a trench isolation structure and a high power supply voltage circuit section including at least a well region and a MOS transistor formed therein. The high power supply voltage circuit section includes a carrier capture region for preventing latch-up in a vicinity of an end portion of the well region, and a depth of the carrier capture region is larger than a depth of the trench isolation region. The carrier capture region in the high power supply voltage circuit section is formed of a diffusion layer which is the same as that of a source or a drain region of the MOS transistor formed in the high power supply voltage circuit section.

Provided is a semiconductor device including an n-type metal oxide semiconductor transistor for electrostatic discharge protection including drain regions connected with a first metal interconnect and source regions connected with another first metal interconnect alternately placed with each other, and gate electrodes each placed between each of the drain regions and each of the source regions, in which: at least one of the first metal interconnect and the other first metal interconnect being connected to a plurality of layers of metal interconnects other than the first metal interconnect; and the source regions include via-holes for electrically connecting the other first metal interconnect and the plurality of layers of metal interconnects other than the first metal interconnect, a greater number of the via-holes is formed as a distance of an interconnect connected to the NMOS transistor for ESD protection becomes larger.

A mixed-signal integrated circuit includes a metal-insulator-metal or polysilicon-insulator-polysilicon capacitor. The electrical path from one electrode of the capacitor passes through a first interconnecting line, then through multiple via holes to a second interconnecting line. During the fabrication process, the capacitor is first charged during a plasma deposition process used to deposit an interlayer dielectric film between the first and second interconnecting lines, then abruptly discharged during a plasma etching process that forms the via holes. The discharge does not damage the floors of the via holes, however, because each of the multiple via holes carries only part of the discharge current.
