A MOS-gated power semiconductor device which combines bipolar conduction with MOS-gate control to achieve low on-state voltage drop while having fast-switching characteristics. A floating P injector region located at the upper surface of the device injects holes, and a grounded P collector region, also located at the upper surface of the device, collects the injected holes. A driver DMOSFET integrated in the structure couples the P injector region to the drain potential during the on-state of the device. The P collector region is configured in such that the driver DMOSFET is conductivity modulated by a positive feedback mechanism, thereby drastically reducing the on-resistance of the device at high current levels.
