Publication number: 20230299128Abstract: 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.
