LATERAL JUNCTION FIELD EFFECT TRANSISTOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

A lateral junction field effect transistor includes a first gate electrode layer (18A) arranged in a third semiconductor layer (13) between source/drain region layers (6, 8), having a lower surface extending on the second semiconductor layer (12), and doped with p-type impurities more heavily than the second semiconductor layer (12), and a second gate electrode layer (18B) arranged in a fifth semiconductor layer (15) between the source/drain region layers (6, 8), having a lower surface extending on a fourth semiconductor layer (14), having substantially the same concentration of p-type impurities as the first gate electrode layer (18A), and having the same potential as the first gate electrode layer (18A). Thereby, the lateral junction field effect transistor has a structure, which can reduce an on-resistance while maintaining good breakdown voltage properties
