Abstract

Lateral FET structure is disclosed with an insulative region such as porous silicon filled with oxide formed in the drift region to divert the drift region current path and increase the length thereof to afford higher OFF state blocking voltage without increasing lateral dimensions. Combinations involving bidirectional power switching structures are also disclosed, as well as a multicell matrix array.
