However, the semiconductor device 5 has a complicated structure of pnpnp and a five-layer structure, and since the p channel layer is formed in the n + emitter layer 17, the threshold voltage of the MOSFET becomes high, which in turn increases the channel resistance. There was a problem that the turn-off speed was increased because the withdrawal of the carrier was blocked. In order to solve this, a method of reducing the concentration of only the n + layer 17 under the electrode 23 in the gate has been studied, but it has a drawback that the manufacturing process becomes more complicated.

FIG. 2 shows a modification of the present invention. The difference from Fig. 1 is that
An n layer 120 is provided between the p + layer 11 and the n layer 12, and an n + layer 15
Between the p layer 13 and the p layer 13 and + in the p layer 14
The point is that layers are provided. By providing the n layer 120,
The depletion layer generated at the junction of the p layer 13 and the n layer 12 is the p + layer 11
It is possible to prevent the reaching and reaching through and to improve the breakdown voltage. Therefore, if the withstand voltage is the same, by providing the n layer 120, the n layer can be thinned and the operating resistance can be reduced, so that a large current can be obtained. Further, by providing the p + layers 130 and 140, the parasitic resistance of the p-channel MOSFET is reduced and the speed can be increased. By appropriately controlling the electron injection efficiency from the n + layer 15 by the p + layer 130, the breakdown voltage of the device 2 can be increased to the breakdown voltage determined by the p layer 13, n layer 12, and n layer 120. A so-called normal-off device can be realized without applying a negative gate voltage.
