Abstract

A lateral high voltage transistor device is disclosed. The transistor includes a gate, a drain, and a source. The drain is located apart from the gate to form an intermediate drift region. The drift region has variable dopant concentration between the drain and the gate. In addition, a spiral resistor is placed over the drift region and is connected to the drain and either the gate or the source of the transistor.
