Abstract

A high-speed MOS-technology power device integrated structure includes a plurality of elementary functional units formed in a lightly doped semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type, the elementary functional units including channel regions of a second conductivity type covered by a conductive insulated gate layer including a polysilicon layer; the conductive insulated gate layer also including a highly conductive layer superimposed over the polysilicon layer and having a resistivity much lower than the resistivity of the polysilicon layer, so that a resistance introduced by the polysilicon layer is shunted with a resistance introduced by the highly conductive layer and the overall resistivity of the conductive insulated gate layer is lowered.
