                            an isolation film <31> provided in an upper layer part of said SOI                           
                     layer for isolating said plurality of element forming regions from each                             
                     other;                                                                                              
                            a first conductivity type semiconductor region <11, 12> provided                             
                     under said isolation film as part of said SOI layer, said semiconductor                             
              region being formed in contact with at least one of said plurality of element forming                      
              regions having a first conductivity type among said plurality of element forming regions;                  
              and                                                                                                        
                            a first conductivity type body region <10> provided in said SOI layer                        
                     and capable of being externally fixed in electric potential, said body region                       
                     being in contact with said semiconductor region, wherein                                            
                            said semiconductor region at least partially has a first conductivity                        
                     type impurity region not mixed with an impurity of a second conductivity                            
                     type different from said first conductivity type but doped by only an                               
                     impurity of said first conductivity type.
