An IC device has a MOSFET serving as a power switch, a condenser connected between a first input terminal of the IC and the gate of the MOSFET, and a ferroelectric condenser connected between a second input terminal of the IC and the gate of the MOSFET. A prescribed voltage having a predetermined polarity is applied across the first and the second input terminals to generate a remanent polarization oriented in a specific direction in the ferroelectric condenser, thereby raising the threshold voltage of the MOSFET to a higher level than its original level. The power switching MOSFET is fabricated in the same manufacturing process as for other circuit blocks of the IC device such that it has substantially the same threshold voltage as that of the MOSFETs in other circuit blocks.
