Abstract

A performance enhancing conductor (27) is employed to reduce a transistor's (10) on resistance and to also reduce the transistor's (10) parasitic gate to drain capacitance (32). The performance enhancing conductor (27) covers the transistor's (10) gate (22) and a portion of the drain region (18, 19) that is adjacent the transistor's channel (20). The performance enhancing conductor (27) is isolated from the gate (22) by an insulator (24, 26).
