Abstract

In a high frequency amplifying MOSFET having a drain offset region, the size is reduced and the on-resistance is decreased by providing conductor plugs 13 (P 1 ) for leading out electrodes on a source region 10 , a drain region 9 and leach-through layers 3 ( 4 ), to which a first layer wirings 11 a, 11 d (M 1 ) are connected and, further, backing second layer wirings 12 a to 12 d are connected on the conductor plugs 13 (P 1 ) to the first layer wirings 11 s, 11 d (M 1 ).

Claims (19)

1. A semiconductor device having a plurality of MISFETs formed on a main surface of a semiconductor substrate, each MISFET comprising:

a drain region and a source region formed in the semiconductor substrate;

a channel-forming region between the source region and the drain region;

a gate insulation film formed over the channel-forming region;

a gate electrode formed over the gate insulation film;

a drain offset region formed between the gate electrode and drain region;

a well region formed under the channel-forming region and source region;

a first insulation film formed over the plurality of MISFETs;

a first wiring formed over the first insulation film, which is electrically connected with the source region; and

a second wiring formed over the first insulation film, which is electrically connected with the drain region,

wherein a first film thickness of the gate insulation film directly under an edge of the gate electrode is greater than a second film thickness of the gate insulation film directly under a center of the gate electrode,

wherein each MISFET of the plurality of MISFETs constitutes a unit block of the power amplifier circuit,

wherein a second insulation film is formed over the first insulation film, the first wiring and the second wiring,

wherein each unit block has a gate pad and a drain pad which are formed over the second insulation film,

wherein the gate pad is electrically connected with the gate electrode, and

wherein the drain pad is electrically connected with the drain region through the first wiring.

2. A semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein a source electrode is formed on a back surface of the semiconductor substrate, and

wherein the source region and source electrode are electrically connected.

3. A semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the semiconductor device constitutes a power amplifier circuit employed in a mobile communication apparatus.
