Abstract: In important applications of circuits comprising transistors of the lateral DMOST type, such as (half) bridges, the voltage on the output may become higher or lower than the supply voltage or earth in the case of an inductive load. The injection of charge carriers into the substrate can be prevented by screening the drain (18) of the Low-Side transistor from the substrate by means of a p-type buried layer (13) and an n-type buried layer (14) below said p-type buried layer. In order to avoid parasitic npn-action between the n-type buried layer (14) and the n-type drain (18), not only the back-gate regions (16a, 16c) at the edge of the transistor, but also the back-gate regions (16b) in the center of the transistor, are connected to the p-type buried layer, for example by means of a p-type well. As a result, throughout the relatively high-ohmic buried layer, the potential is well defined, so that said npn-action is prevented.
