Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor device, such as a semiconductor memory device, having structure wherein invasion of minority carriers from the semiconductor substrate into components of the device, formed on the substrate, can be avoided. The semiconductor memory device can be an SRAM or DRAM, for example, and includes a memory array and peripheral circuit on a substrate. In one aspect of the present invention, a buried layer of the same conductivity type as that of the substrate, but with a higher impurity concentration than that of the substrate, is provided beneath at least one of the peripheral circuit and memory array. A further region can extend from the buried layer, for example, to the surface of the semiconductor substrate, the buried layer and further region in combination acting as a shield to prevent minority carriers from penetrating to the device elements.

Abstract: A semiconductor device facilitates keeping all parasitic resistance values between contact portion of a common source (V.sub.cc) line and intrinsic collector operation regions of respective transistors small enough so as not to exceed predetermined values and so as to be nearly identical. The parasitic resistance values are made small and nearly identical by disposing collector electrode connecting layers between base impurity introducing layers of respective transistors provided with predetermined intervals in a semiconductor substrate. Because of this arrangement to minimize and equalize resistances, the voltage drops generated by the parasitic resistances applied to respective transistors are suppressed so as to be lower than or not substantially exceed the operation threshold voltages of the parasitic transistors.
