Abstract
A semiconductor device for switching comprises a semiconductor substrate (10), three conductive regions (14, 16, 20) for providing a path for electrons to or from desired locations of the semiconductor substrate (10) formed at locations spaced apart on the surface of the semiconductor substrate (10, 28), a device (22, 24) for causing a current between the first and second conductive regions (14, 16), and a device (18) for forming electric field for diverting the caused current to the third conductive region (20). Since the current flowing to the first and second conductive regions (14, 16) is diverted to the third conductive region (20), switching operation between the first and second conductive regions (14, 16) is implemented.
