1. A semiconductor device having a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) type transistor structure, comprising:
an additional load capacitance that is formed at a part of the semiconductor device, which is vulnerable to soft errors;
wherein the formation of the additional load capacitance is performed such that a first well region that is formed immediately below the first diffusion layer region is made to have a higher concentration than a second well region; and
wherein an impurity concentration at a junction interface between the first well region with the higher concentration and the first diffusion layer region is set at 5×1018 to 1019/cm3, and an impurity concentration at a junction interface between the second well region and a second diffusion layer region which is the diffusion layer regions except for the first diffusion layer region is set at 1018/cm3.
