Abstract
A gate electrode includes a first region formed in an OFF gate region and a second region formed in an ON gate region. A P-channel region is formed in the OFF gate region and an N-channel region is formed in the ON gate region to separate these gate regions. Since a P.sup.- -type channel region of low impurity concentration is formed at an end of a P-type base region in which the N-channel region is formed, the impurity concentration of the P-type base region can be increased and thus turn-off characteristic is improved.
