Abstract
To provide a field-effect transistor having a large power conversion capacity and its fabrication method by decreasing the leakage current between the source and the drain of a semiconductor device made of hexagonal-system silicon carbide when the gate voltage of the semiconductor device is turned off and also decreasing the electrical resistance of the semiconductor device when the gate voltage of the semiconductor device is turned on. The main current path of the field-effect transistor is formed so that the current flowing between the source and the drain of, for example, a field-effect transistor flows in the direction parallel with the {0001} plane and a channel forming plane is parallel with the {1120} plane.
