Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a first p-channel laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) transistor formed over the semiconductor substrate and additional p-channel LDMOS transistors formed over the semiconductor substrate. First drain and gate electrodes are formed over the substrate and are coupled to the first LDMOS transistor. Additional drain and gate electrodes are formed over the substrate and are coupled to the second LDMOS transistor. A common source electrode for the first and second LDMOS transistors is also formed over the substrate.

Abstract: A laterally diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor device includes a substrate having a first conductivity type with a semiconductor layer formed over the substrate. A source region and a drain extension region of the first conductivity type are formed in the semiconductor layer. A body region of a second conductivity type is formed in the semiconductor layer. A conductive gate is formed over a gate dielectric layer that is formed over a channel region. A drain contact electrically connects the drain extension region to the substrate and is laterally spaced from the channel region. The drain contact includes a highly-doped drain contact region formed between the substrate and the drain extension region in the semiconductor layer, wherein a topmost portion of the highly-doped drain contact region is spaced from the upper surface of the semiconductor layer. A source contact electrically connects the source region to the body region.
