Abstract

A lateral power metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) having a gate structure in which the insulated gate is coupled to the gate electrode through contacts at a plurality of locations. The source electrode includes first and second segments. The first segment is interposed between the drain electrode and the gate electrode and acts as a field plate.
