Abstract

Methods of manufacturing a semiconductor device and resulting products. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a hetero semiconductor region hetero-adjoined with the semiconductor substrate, a gate insulation layer contacting the semiconductor substrate and a heterojunction of the hetero semiconductor region, a gate electrode formed on the gate insulation layer, an electric field alleviation region spaced apart from a heterojunction driving end of the heterojunction that contacts the gate insulation layer by a predetermined distance and contacting the semiconductor substrate and the gate insulation layer, a source electrode contacting the hetero semiconductor region and a drain electrode contacting the semiconductor substrate. A mask layer is formed on the hetero semiconductor region, and the electric field alleviation region and the heterojunction driving end are formed by using at least a portion of the first mask layer.
