Abstract
A semiconductor device comprises an insulating region residing adjacent to a first semiconductor region, a control electrode residing via the insulating region, a second semiconductor region and a third semiconductor region, which have an opposite conduction type to that of the first semiconductor region, residing adjacent to and carrying therebetween the first semiconductor region. When the first, second and third semiconductor regions and the control electrode are grounded, the first semiconductor region in contact with the insulating layer is adjusted to be in weak inversion state, and the potential of the control electrode and that of the first semiconductor region are electrically coupled to be operable.
