Abstract

Abstract A semiconductor device including a field effect transistor has source and drain areas formed on the main surface of a semiconductor substrate and a gate electrode formed on the main surface across a gate insulation film. The gate electrode has a first electrode portion with an electron donating surface and a second electrode portion consisting of metal formed on the first electrode portion.
