Abstract

Method and structure is disclosed for a high-density DMOS transistor with an improved body contact. The improvement comprises a self-aligned structure in combination with a body contact region which overdopes the source region in order to minimize the number of critical photoresist steps. The use of two dielectric spacers obviates the need for a separate contact mask.
