Abstract

A semiconductor device including an N-type semiconductor substrate which includes arsenic as an impurity, a first electrode formed on a main surface of the N-type semiconductor substrate, a ground surface formed on another surface of the N-type semiconductor substrate, a second electrode formed on the ground surface and ohmically-contacted with the N-type semiconductor substrate, a semiconductor element formed in the N-type semiconductor substrate and flowing current between the first electrode and the second electrode during ON-state thereof. The device has a reduced ON-resistance thereof.
