Abstract

Abstract A semiconductor device of metal-insulator-semiconductor construction and having a high operating voltage is formed of a semi-conductor substrate of one conductivity type which has a drain region of the opposite conductivity type and low impurity concentration formed in its major surface. The low impurity concentration region has formed therein a region of opposite conductivity type of a high impurity concentration. Simultaneously with the formation the high impurity concentration region, a source region of opposite conductivity type and high impurity concentration is formed in the substrate. An insulated gate electrode is formed to bridge the source region and the drain region of low impurity concentration, but to be spaced from the region of the high impurity concentration in the drain region, so that a depletion or space charge region extends deeply into the drain region.
