Abstract

PURPOSE:To use a below tunnel current on an abnormal rise in temperature and to make a gate voltage close to a source voltage or to make a base voltage close to an emitter voltage so that a power transistor is cut off to realize protection against overheating, by forming an insulating film on a gate electrode thinly in degree of making a FowlerNordheim tunnel current flow therein. CONSTITUTION:A polycrystalline Si gate 4 on a gate oxide film 3 formed on an n-type layer 2 is used as a mask so as to perform double diffusion of a (p) well 5 serving as a channel region and an n<+> source 6 serving as a source region so that a vertical type MOSFET is formed. After an SiO2 film 7 is piled by a CVD method or the like, the region 8 where tunnel MOS structure is formed is removed by an etching method and then a poly Si 4's surface on this region is heat-oxidized to form an oxide film 9 thinly in degree of for example 150Angstrom in thickness. When a positive bias is applied to the side of the semiconductor in MOS structure formed in this way, a potential wall is made thinner to make a Fowler-Nordheim tunnel current flow therein.
