            Application 07/982,068                                                                     

                        a p-type layer formed on said epitaxially grown                                
                        n-type layer,                                                                  



                        a high concentration n-type top layer formed on                                
                        said p-type layer,                                                             
                        a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped recess formed                              
                        in such a direction that its side walls make an                                
                        angle of 45  against the (Olù) plane of saido                                                                 
                        substrate and in a manner that said side walls are                             
                        vertical to the (100) plane of said substrate and                              
                        further in a manner to penetrate to the p-type                                 
                        layer and to reach the epitaxial layer from said                               
                        top layer,                                                                     
                        an oxide film formed in said recess and on said                                
                        top layer,                                                                     
                        an electrode opening formed at a part of said                                  
                        oxide film on said top layer,                                                  
                        a gate electrode formed on a part of said oxide                                
                        film formed in said recess,                                                    
                        a source electrode of aluminum formed at said                                  
                        electrode opening, and                                                         
                        a drain electrode formed on said substrate.                                    
                  Independent claims 7 and 11 further specify that first and                           
            second sidewalls of the recess are formed along (010) and (001)                            
            planes.  Claim 7 additionally requires that a high concentration                           
            region is formed in at least one of the four corner parts of the                           
            rectangular recess.  Claims 8 and 9 each depend from claim 7.                              
                                               Opinion
