Description of the invention (&); The present invention shows an integrated semiconductor circuit with a differential amplifier, which includes two input transistors, a current source and a load element. In integrated circuits, differential amplifiers can be used in different applications, especially in recent generations of semiconductor memory modules, which require lower internal supply voltages (internal supply ν ο 1 t a g e) due to newer technologies. The conventional input signal amplifier is also called an input receiver (input receiver) and is formed in the form of an inverter, which can no longer fully satisfy the operation within the reduced power supply voltage range, because in some examples the signal transition state (signal transition ) Can no longer be detected reliably. The basic design of the difference amplifier has a high input resistance, which is the same as the inverter. Because the differential amplifier is even required to operate with a lower input supply voltage, it can be used as an input receiver in applications. Its function is to detect the changing input signal and appropriately amplify the signal. In principle, differential amplifiers of different designs have the same basic circuit of a known type. The basic circuit consists of two input transistors, a current source, and active and passive loads. The potential difference between the two input signals (potential d i f e r e n c e) appears at the two input transistors, causing a change in the potential at the output of the differential amplifier. Input transistors are usually designed using NMOS technology. Comparing PMOS transistors, this input transistor usually has higher gain and requires less space. Among the DRAM-type semiconductor memory devices, in particular, differential amplifiers have long been used as signal generators in principle. Generally, the latter has a small input signal potential variation during operation (Potentia 1 -3-this paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 mm)) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling This page) • n ϋ ϋ ϋ 1: mouth, ϋ ϋ ϋ —.1 ϋ 1 ϋ ^ 78159 A7 ^ _E__ 5. Description of the invention (>) f luc tuat ion). Compared with the operation period of the input receiver, higher input signal potential changes are usually seen. ------------ β package—— (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) NM0S transistor is usually in the basic doped matrix (s u b s t r a t e) with P conductivity type. Therefore, it is positioned to have regions of the drain terminal and the source terminal that are individually miscellaneous with the η conductivity type, and a channel with a gate terminal (c h a η n e 1). The substrate on the underside of the channel usually contains the fourth end of the transistor, which is also called the bulk (b u 1 k) end. This electrode has the same control action as the gate. Normally, its control action is not used, and it and the source electrode are connected to the same potential. The substrate formed by the NM0S transistor printed by the employee's consumer cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs is usually connected to the fixed reference ground potential of Xialu Road. If the transistor does not electrically isolate the rest of the substrate of the integrated circuit, its bulk terminal is likewise referenced to ground potential. To avoid control, according to the above description, the source electrode terminal must also be connected to the reference ground potential. If the input signal of the differential amplifier connected to the gate terminal of the input transistor has a high potential variation, at the transistor source terminal of the current source connected to the differential amplifier, the capacitance between the gate and the source electrode Sexual coupling is similarly seen with increasing potential differences. Because the bulk terminal is connected to a fixed ground reference potential, an increased potential difference is generated between the bulk terminal and the source terminal. This effect is also known as the body effect. The threshold voltage of the bulk-source effect transistor (t h r e s hold >> vo 1 t age) changes. This adversely affects the switching behavior of the differential amplifier (sw i t e h i n g be h a v i p r), for example because of a change in the behavior of the transition state of the input transistor. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a circuit device with a differential amplifier. -4-This paper size is applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 478159 Α7 B7 5. Description of the invention (4) It reduces the above Bad switching behavior of the differential amplifier. The purpose of the present invention is obtained based on the semiconductor circuit with the features of the first item of the patent application. The features of better design and development are described in the appended items of the patent application scope. The semiconductor circuit has a differential amplifier having the basic circuit described above. At least one input transistor of the NMOS type forms a well portion of the P conductivity type), and is used for a part of which is arranged on a substrate of the same P conductivity type. A region having individual drain and source terminals and a channel between the two regions are also disposed at the well portion. The well section and the substrate are electrically insulated and have a well section end connected to the source terminal. This ensures that the potential at the bulk is equal to the potential at the source terminal, thus avoiding the bulk source effect. Because in the basic circuit of the differential amplifier, the source terminal of the input transistor is connected to the current source, the current source terminal is not connected to the fixed reference ground potential of the integrated circuit. In contrast, the base of an integrated circuit is usually fixedly connected to a reference ground potential. Therefore, it is necessary to properly insulate the input transistor and its bulk terminal from the substrate for electrical insulation. This allows the bulk terminal of the transistor to be connected to the source terminal. The present invention is applicable to any semiconductor circuit in which it is desired to use a differential amplifier. Generally, an NMOS transistor thus insulated from the substrate can be used to advantage. Circuits with large potential fluctuations can be seen at the extremes of the crystal source. As mentioned, the circuit includes a differential amplifier used as an input receiver. The large fluctuation potential at the input signal terminal will not cause a large source effect, so it will not adversely affect the exchange behavior of the differential amplifier. The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the detailed drawings, in which: This paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297) (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) ϋ ϋ · ϋ 1 I n ^ OJ — — — — — — — Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 478159 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (4) Figure 1 shows the basic structure of the differential amplifier; Figure 2 shows the first structure Cross-section diagram of the NMOS input transistor cake; Figure 3 shows the structure of a differential amplifier with an insulated input transistor; and Figure 4 is a cross-section of the insulated N M 0 S input transistor of Figure 3 Icon. The basic circuit of the differential amplifier 10 shown in Fig. 1 includes input transistors T1 and T2, and a current source 30 and a load element 20 in the form of a current mirror. The differential amplifier 10 is connected to the internal power supply potential ν 1 with a load element 20 and to the reference ground potential GND of the integrated circuit with a current source 30. The input signal 1 of the differential amplifier 10 appears at the gate terminal G of the input transistor T1; for example, a reference potential is applied to the gate terminal of the input transistor T2. In this case, the 4 terminal of the output signal of the differential amplifier 10 is connected between the load element 20 and the transistor T1. Fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the transistors T1 and T2 used in Fig. 1. Shown is an NMOS type transistor which is formed on a substrate SP of the P conductivity type. Regions η 1 and η 2 are connected to the drain terminal D and the source terminal S of the transistor, respectively. The gate terminal G is applied on the upper side of the channel n k. The regions η 1 and η 2 have an η conductivity type. The channel nk forms a so-called inverter layer. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the base body Sp has one end, which corresponds to the bulk end B of the transistor. The base body Sp is connected to the fixed reference ground potential GNP of the integrated circuit, in particular to prevent parasitic currents from passing through the conductive P η junction. (P njuncti ο η) ° In the first figure, if the input signal 1 has a high potential variation during the operation period, the node k is similarly applied to the Chinese paper standard due to the paper size between the gate electrode and the source electrode of the input transistor T 1 (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Installed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs ^ / ^ 159 A7 B7 V. Description of Invention (r) Capacitor Sexual coupling causes high potential changes. Because the bulk terminal B of the latter is connected to the fixed reference ground potential GND, the voltage UBS can be viewed at the bulk terminal B and the source terminal S, and its voltage is greater than zero. The potential difference between the bulk and source extremes results in the bulk-source effect described above. FIG. 3 shows a differential amplifier 10 whose basic structure corresponds to the differential amplifier shown in FIG. In contrast to the latter, the bulk terminals of the transistors T 1 and T 2 are connected to individual source terminals. Figure 4 shows a cross-sectional view of one of the transistors T1 or T2 used in Figure 3. The NM 0 S transistor is no longer directly applied to the substrate S p but is arranged in the well portion of the P conductive type. Wp and well portion Wp are electrically insulated by the insulating layer I and the substrate Sp. The insulating layer I 1 has a conductivity type and is connected to an internal power supply potential V1. This allows the bulk terminal B of the NMOS transistor to be isolated from the base terminal SA of the substrate Sp of the integrated circuit. Furthermore, the substrate Sp is connected to a fixed reference ground potential GND. In order to ensure that the potential of the well portion Wp is the same as the potential at the source terminal S of the transistor, the well terminal B is connected to the source terminal S °. The bulk-source effect is effectively avoided. To ensure that the potential of the well section WP is the same as the potential at the source terminal of the transistor, the well terminal B is connected to the source terminal S. Bulk-source effects are therefore effectively prevented.
