Abstract
A semiconductor device with a current detecting function in which in place of an external resistor for detecting an operation current such as drain current or collector current of a device such as an FET or bipolar transistor, a probe electrode is formed in proximity to the device depletion layer to connect therethrough with the device channel to generate a probe voltage corresponding to the operation current.
