Abstract
In a silicon carbide static induction transistor, at a surface part of a semiconductor substrate, a p-type gate region is formed partially overlapping a n-type source region, whereby the high accuracy in alignment between the gate region and the source region is not required, and the gate withstand voltage can be highly increased since the substrate is made of silicon carbide, which improves the yield of static induction transistors.
