Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a high-breakdown-strength semiconductor element whose ON-voltage is low by installing a gate-semiconductor-layer control means which electrically isolates a gate semiconductor layer from a drain electrode in an ON-operation on the basis of the potential difference between a gate electrode coming into contact with the gate semiconductor layer and the drain electrode. CONSTITUTION:A heavily doped p-type semiconductor layer 10 which does not come into contact with a source electrode 6 is formed on a gate insulating film 8 at the upper part of a P-type well layer 3 in a region which is sandwiched between an n-type source layer 4 and an n-type high-resistance semiconductor layer 2. In addition, a gate electrode 13 is formed. On the end part of the gate insulating film 8 on the drain side, a Zener diode which is composed of an n-type semiconductor layer 11 and a p-type semiconductor layer 12 as a gate semiconductor control means is formed. Then, the p-type semiconductor layer 12 comes into contact with a drain electrode 7. In addition, a low-concentration i-type polysilicon layer 9 is formed on the insulating film 8 between the p-type semiconductor layer 10.

According to the lateral MOSFET thus configured, when a positive voltage is applied to the gate electrode 13 with respect to the source electrode 6, the channel ch1 is formed on the surface of the p-type well layer 3 below the p-type semiconductor layer 10. The channel ch2 is induced on the surface of the i-type polysilicon layer 9 at the same time that the channel is formed. As a result, the resistance of the i-type polysilicon layer 9 is significantly reduced, and the potential of the i-type polysilicon layer 9 becomes the same as the gate applied voltage. Therefore, the channel ch3 is formed on the surface of the n-type high resistance semiconductor layer 2.

Therefore, the n-type source layer 4 and the n-type drain layer 5 are connected by one channel. That is, like the lateral MOSFET shown in FIG. 27, a long channel is formed as in the case where the effectively long gate electrode 109a is formed. Therefore, even if the n-type source layer 4 and the n-type drain layer 5 are formed on the surface of the n-type high resistance semiconductor layer 2, the on-voltage can be lowered. Also,
At this time, the diode formed by the n-type semiconductor layer 11 and the p-type semiconductor layer 12 is reverse-biased, so that there is no inconvenience that a current flows from the drain electrode 7 to the i-type polysilicon layer 9.

On the other hand, when turned off, no voltage is applied to the gate electrode 13 and a high voltage is applied to the drain electrode 7, so that the channel ch1 is formed on the surface of the p-type well layer 3 as shown in FIG. Not formed. As a result, channel ch
2 and ch3 are not induced and the i-type polysilicon layer 9 is depleted. That is, the effectively long gate electrode 109a like the lateral MOSFET shown in FIG. 27 disappears.
Therefore, the electric field concentration near the drain electrode 7 is avoided, and the breakdown voltage does not decrease near the n-type drain electrode 7.
