Abstract

The breakdown characteristics of a lateral transistor integrated in an epitaxial layer of a first type of conductivity grown on a substrate of an opposite type of conductivity and comprising a drain region formed in said epitaxial layer, are markedly improved without recurring to critical adjustments of physical parameters of the integrated structure by forming a buried region having the same type of conductivity of the substrate and a slightly higher level of doping at the interface between the epitaxial layer and the substrate in a zone laying beneath the drain region of the transistor.
