Abstract

An LDMOS transistor formed in an N-type substrate. A polysilicon gate is formed atop the N-type substrate. A P-type well is formed in the N-type substrate extending from the source side to under the polysilicon gate. A N+ source region is formed in the P-type well and adjacent to the polysilicon gate. A N+ drain region is formed in the N-type substrate and in the drain side of the polysilicon gate. Finally, an N-type drift region is formed between the N+ drain region and the polysilicon gate, wherein the N-type drift region does not extend to said polysilicon gate.
