ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device includes a first semiconductor layer, and a first insulated-gate field-effect transistor of a first conductivity type that is provided in a major surface region of the first semiconductor layer. The semiconductor device further includes an electrostrictive layer that is provided on a back surface of the first semiconductor layer and applies a first stress along a channel length to a channel region of the first insulated-gate field-effect transistor when the first insulated-gate field-effect transistor is operated.
