Abstract
A depletion layer forming element, for instance, a low impurity concentration layer, is provided between a gate electrode and a source or drain electrode. The depletion layer forms a surface depletion layer closer to a semiconductor substrate than a depletion layer formed in an active layer opposite the gate electrode. Alternatively, the depletion layer forming element is a reduced thickness portion of the active layer.
