Abstract

A transistor, such as laterally diffused (LD) transistor, having a band region below a drift well is disclosed. The band region and drift well are oppositely doped. The band region is self-aligned to the drift well. The band region reduces the depth of the drift well. A shallower drift well reduces risk of punch-through, improving reliability. In addition, the shallower drift well reduces the drain to body parasitic capacitance which improves performance.
