Abstract

A field effect transistor (FET) includes a semiconductor region of a first conductivity type and a well region of a second conductivity type extending over the semiconductor region. A gate electrode is adjacent to but insulated from the well region, and a source region of the first conductivity type is in the well region. A heavy body region is in electrical contact with the well region, and includes a material having a lower energy gap than the well region.
