Abstract

A high-resistant p-silicon layer is formed on a silicon substrate through a silicon oxide film. N-source and n-drain layers are selectively formed in the surface of the high-resistant p-silicon layer. A gate electrode is formed through a gate insulating film on a channel region between the source and drain layers. To induce an n-inverted layer under the gate electrode, a p-base layer is formed in the high-resistant p-silicon layer. A depletion layer extending from a pn junction between the n-drain layer and the high-resistant p-silicon layer reaches the silicon oxide film in a thermal equilibrium state. Part of the high-resistant p-silicon layer extends into a channel region between the drain and base layers. The drain and base layers are connected to each other through part of the depletion layer in the thermal equilibrium state. A field effect transistor having a high-speed operation is provided.
