Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An MOS semiconductor device including an MOS gate structure is disclosed. The MOS semiconductor device includes a p-type well region selectively disposed on the surface layer of an n-type drift layer formed on a semiconductor substrate forming an n-type drain region; an n-type source region selectively disposed on the surface layer of the p-type well region; and a gate electrode placed, via an insulating film, on the surface of a channel formation region on the surface layer of the p-type well region sandwiched between the n-type source region and the surface layer of the n-type drain region, wherein a surface in the channel formation region has a level difference formed in the direction of the peripheral length, and all over the length, of the channel formation region.
