Abstract

A step-cut insulated gate static induction transistor can accurately make a channel length and a gate length and is excellent as a high speed transistor but is greatly affected by a deviation in mask alignment in the manufacturing process. This invention utilizes the fact that a gate portion formed in a previous processes is used as a mask in a post portion to thereby self-adjustably form the post portion, thus eliminating the influence of the deviation in mask alignment. In addition, a construction has been invented in which a current flowing through a portion apart from a gate between a drain and a source can be restricted. The aforesaid manufacturing method is also used for this improved construction.
