Abstract

The semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor substrate, a polycrystalline silicon semiconductor body extending upwardly from a portion of the surface of the semiconductor substrate and containing an impurity at a substantially uniform concentration, and a metal electrode disposed on the top surface of the polycrystalline silicon semiconductor body. The metal electrode extends in the lateral direction beyond the periphery of the top surface of the polycrystalline silicon semiconductor body.
