Abstract

An integrated LDMOS transistor comprises a semiconductor substrate (11), an LDMOS gate region (17), LDMOS source (14) and drain (15) regions, and a channel region (13) arranged beneath the LDMOS gate region, where the channel region interconnects the LDMOS source and drain regions. The LDMOS gate region comprises first (18a) and second (18b) gate insulation layer regions, a centrally located gate-dividing insulation region (19) provided between the first and second gate insulation layer regions, and first (20a) and second (20b) individual gate conducting layer regions, each being provided on top of a respective one of the first and second gate insulation layer regions, and each being an etched outside spacer region at the centrally located insulation layer region.
