Abstract
In the present invention, a vertical type MOSFET and a Schottky barrier diode which are used as a switching device of a DC--DC converter are formed on the same semiconductor substrate. Further, a barrier metal which is required for the Schottky barrier diode is also formed on an electrode portion of the vertical type MOSFET. In addition, a Schottky barrier diode forming region is formed to have low impurity concentration than a vertical type MOSFET forming region.
