Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a substrate of a first conductivity type with relatively low impurity concentration; a first region of a second conductivity type with relatively low impurity concentration, =located in the substrate; a second region of the first conductivity type with relatively high impurity concentration, located in the substrate; first and second conductors, located on the first region and separated from each other by an isolator layer; and a third conductor, separated from the first and second conductors by the isolator layer, and located on the second region. The first conductor provides a drain terminal. The second conductor provides a source terminal. The third conductor provides a gate terminal.
