Abstract
A field effect transistor includes a semiconductor substrate having an active region, a source region, and a drain region at an upper portion of the substrate. The active region is located between the source and drain regions. A gate electrode is located on the active region. A source electrode is located on the source region and forms an ohmic contact with the source region. A drain electrode has a base part on and in ohmic contact with the drain region and an extended part having edge close to the gate electrode and over a boundary between the active region and the drain region. An insulating film is located between the boundary and the extended part and has a thickness that increases along a direction from the drain electrode toward the gate electrode in a step-by-step or continuous manner.
