  • Publication number: 20230299128
    Abstract: The present disclosure provided a lateral field-effect transistor and its preparing method, relating to semiconductor technological field. A gate pad and a source pad configured by the lateral field transistor in a passive region extend from a first surface of a device functional layer to a surface of substrate respectively. The gate pad is isolated from the device functional layer and the substrate respectively. The source pad is shorted to the substrate. Therefore, through a capacitance structure formed between the gate pad and the source pad shorted to the substrate, the capacitance of a device that formed between the gate pad and source pad may be increased, thereby effectively alleviating the generated oscillation, reducing the loss of a power device, and avoiding the false turn-on of the lateral field-effect transistor.
