An insulated gate semiconductor device, which improves high frequency characteristics by reducing the resistance of a path from a gate bonding portion to each gate and eliminating an unbalance in resistances of respective gates, and which obtain a higher output by eliminating a limitation in current capacity due to the thickness of a first metal layer. In this insulated gate semiconductor device, a first aluminum layer is connected in parallel onto a gate electrode made of polycrystalline silicon. The adjacent gates, each having such a double layer structure, extend outside channel regions and are connected to each other. A lead-out electrode of a second aluminum layer is connected to the center of the connection portion of the adjacent gates through an opening portion. A gate bonding portion is provided at the center of the lead-out electrode. Each of source and drain electrodes is also of a double layer structure having the first aluminum layer and the second aluminum layer.

A semiconductor integrated circuit device is provided to include a vertical type MOSFET and a gate protection element for the MOSFET. The vertical type MOSFET is made up of a silicon layer of n-type conductivity formed on an n.sup.+ -type silicon substrate, a base region of p-type conductivity formed in the surface of the silicon layer of n-type conductivity, an n.sup.+ -type source region provided in the base region, and a gate electrode formed on a portion of the base region through a gate insulating film. The silicon substrate serves as the drain. The gate protection element is formed of a polycrystalline silicon layer which is provided on the base region through an insulating film and includes at least one pn junction. By virtue of forming the gate protection element over the base region rather than directly over the substrate, a more stable operation is achieved.
