Abstract

Devices and methods for switch body connections to achieve soft breakdown. In some embodiments, a radio-frequency switching device can include an assembly of source, gate, and drain implemented on an active region, a first body contact implemented at a first end of the assembly, and a second body contact implemented at a second end of the assembly. The second end can be distal from the first end along a width of the radio-frequency switching device.
