Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a normally-on junction FET having a gate electrode, a source electrode and a drain electrode and a normally-off MOSFET having a gate electrode, a source electrode and a drain electrode. The source electrode of the junction FET is electrically connected to the drain electrode of the MOSFET, and the junction FET is thus connected to the MOSFET in series. The gate electrode of the junction FET is electrically connected to the gate electrode of the MOSFET.
