Abstract

A field effect transistor is provided wherein a semiconductor body has a source region and a plurality of drain regions with a gate region common to the plurality of drain regions. A common gate electrode is formed over the common gate region to control the flow of carriers to each one of the plurality of drain regions. With such arrangement an efficient multi-drain field effect transistor is provided through the use of a common gate electrode formed on the semiconductor body.
