- One problem of a semiconductor device using a transistor or a diode formed on a semiconductor substrate as an ESD protection element as shown in FIG. 1 is that the chip area is increased due to the formation of the ESD protection element. Since the ESD protection element is formed on the semiconductor substrate, it is necessary to provide a region for forming the ESD protection element separately from a region for forming the integrated circuit. This leads to an increase in chip area. Moreover, since a large current can flow through the ESD protection element when an ESD surge is applied, it is necessary to form a transistor or a diode having a large area as the ESD protection element. This makes the problem of increasing chip area increasingly serious.
