The present disclosure provides a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor substrate; a well, formed in the semiconductor substrate; an output terminal, electrically connected to the semiconductor substrate; a ground terminal, configured to receive a ground voltage; a detection signal generating circuit, configured to generate a negative current detection signal when an output voltage present at the output terminal is detected to be less than the ground voltage; and a control circuit, configured to apply the ground voltage or the output voltage to the well in response to the negative current detection signal. The detection signal generating circuit includes: a comparator, configured to generate the negative current detection signal by comparing an output detection voltage with the ground voltage or the threshold voltage; a bias circuit, configured to switch between applying the output voltage or a bias voltage as the output detection voltage; and a clamp circuit.
