Abstract
In a high voltage JFET, a p-floating region is provided in the surface layer of an n-drift region, thereby increasing the resistance R of the n-drift region and minimizing the voltage divided at a pn junction. This makes it possible to improve ESD capacity without increasing device size and without making the cutoff current smaller.
