Abstract

A back-source MOSFET uses a source electrode on a second surface of a substrate to reduce noise which would otherwise interfere with the logic circuit of a power integrated circuit. One embodiment includes a substrate of a first conductivity type and a base layer of a second conductivity type on a first surface of the substrate. A source region is electrically connected with the substrate. A source electrode is formed on a second surface of the substrate. A further embodiment includes a substrate of a first conductivity type and a base layer of a first conductivity type on a first surface of the substrate. A source electrode is formed on a second surface of the substrate.
