A zapping diode concerned with a P-N junction diode provided in an integrated circuit, whose P-N junction is subjected to breakdown by an overvoltage to perform fine adjustment in the value of capacitance or resistance involved in the circuit. The diode has a first impurity region of a first conductivity type formed in a first conductivity type semiconductor region, a second impurity region, an interlayer insulation film formed over the semiconductor region, and a third conductor film formed on the semiconductor region between the first and second impurity region. The third conductor film, when applied by a reverse-bias voltage, controls the direction of breakdown in the P-N junction to thereby provide a consistent value of residual resistance.
