A field effect device is disclosed that provides a reduced variation in on-resistance as a function of junction temperature. The field effect device, having a source junction, gate junction and drain junction, includes a resistive thin film adjacent the drain junction wherein the resistive thin film comprises a material having a negative temperature coefficient of resistance. The material is selected from one or more materials from the group consisting of doped polysilicon, amorphous silicon, silicon-chromium and silicon-nickel, where the material properties, such as thickness and doping level, are chosen to create a desired resistance and temperature profile for the field effect device. Temperature variation of on-resistance for the disclosed field effect device is reduced from the temperature variation for a similar field effect device without the resistive thin film. |
