Abstract
An unsymmetrical MOS device is disclosed which includes a semiconductor layer of a first conductive type having a surface having a first area and a second area which is offset from the first area; a gate insulator layer located on the first area of the surface of the semiconductor layer; a gate electrode located on the gate insulator layer; and a source region of a second conductive type and a drain region of the second conductive type each located in the semiconductor layer below the second area of the surface. The electric resistance of an area between the first area of the surface and the surface of the source region is smaller than the electric resistance of an area between the first area of the surface and the surface of the drain region.
