Abstract

The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a transistor device having a field plate. The transistor device has a gate electrode disposed over a substrate between a source region and a drain region. One or more dielectric layers are arranged over the gate electrode, and a field plate is arranged over the one or more dielectric layers. The field plate extends from a first outermost sidewall that is directly over an upper surface of the gate electrode to a second outermost sidewall that is between the gate electrode and the drain region and that extends to below the upper surface of the gate electrode.
