Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate as a drain region. A metal source region is located on a first surface of the substrate. The metal and the substrate constitute a Schottky junction. An insulated gate, including a gate electrode and an insulating film surrounding the gate electrode, is adjacent to the Schottky junction, such that angle formed by the Schottky junction and the insulated gate in the substrate is an acute angle. A part of the Schottky metal can be buried in the form of a pillar in the substrate, and a channel region of the Schottky junction can be formed on the pillar near the insulated gate.
