Abstract
A semiconductor device of the MOS construction such that a gate oxide film of the device has a gate area in the range of from 5 to 15 mm.sup.2 and a thickness in the range of from 15 to 40 nm and the oxide film dielectric breakdown voltage is not less than 8 MV/cm when a gate current caused to flow in response to application of a direct-current voltage between a phosphorus-doped polysilicon electrode formed on the oxide film and a silicon single crystal substrate increases past 1 .mu.A/mm.sup.2 as current density is obtained by using a silicon wafer substrate having an oxygen concentration of not more than 1.times.10.sup.18 atoms/cm.sup.3.
