摘要:
A highly conductive region 18 serving as a surface of a drain layer 2 of a first conductivity type is diffused more deeply than a main diffused layer 36 and a diffused channel layer 37, and has a small conducting resistance. The highly conductive region 18 is surrounded by a diffused region 40 of a second conductivity type which comprises a diffused base layer 38 and a diffused guard ring layer 13. Therefore, the highly conductive region 18 does not form spherical junctions, and a depletion layer spreading in the highly conductive region 18 extends into the highly conductive region 18. The highly conductive region 18 thus has a high withstand voltage while maintaining the low conducting resistance.

A field effect transistor having a high breakdown withstand capacity is provided. An active region 7a is surrounded by a fixed potential diffusion layer 16, and a channel region 15 is formed in the active region 7a. A gate pad 35 is provided outside the fixed potential diffusion layer 16. Minority carriers injected at a peripheral region of the active region 7a flow into the fixed potential diffusion layer 16, which prevents breakdown attributable to concentration of the carriers. The fixed potential diffusion layer 16 is surrounded by a plurality of guard ring diffusion layers 171 through 174, and a pad diffusion layer 18 formed in a position under the gate pad 35 is connected to the innermost guard ring diffusion layer 171. Since this encourages expansion of a depletion layer under the gate pad 35, an increased breakdown voltage is provided.

摘要:
A field effect transistor with a high withstand voltage and a low resistance is provided. A ring-shaped channel region is disposed inside a source region formed in a ring, and the inside of the channel region is taken as a drain region. A depletion layer extends toward the inside of the drain region, resulting in a high withstand voltage. In the portion, except the portion within a prescribed distance from the corner portion of the channel region, a low resistance conductive layer is disposed, thereby resulting in high withstand voltage.
