Abstract

The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to a method of forming an integrated chip. The method may be performed by forming a source region and a drain region within a substrate. A gate structure is formed over the substrate and between the source region and the drain region. One or more dielectric layers are formed over the gate structure, and a first inter-level dielectric (ILD) layer is formed over the one or more dielectric layers. The first ILD layer laterally surrounds the gate structure. The first ILD layer is etched to define contact openings and a field plate opening. The contact openings and the field plate opening are filled with a conductive material.
