SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE HAVING MIRROR-SYMMETRIC TERMINALS AND METHODS OF FORMING THE SAME

摘要

A semiconductor device having substantially minor-symmetric terminals and methods of forming the same. In one embodiment, the semiconductor device includes a semiconductor switch having a control node and a switched node, the switched node being coupled to first and second output terminals of the semiconductor device, the first and second output terminals being positioned in a substantially minor-symmetric arrangement on the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device also includes a control element having first and second input nodes and an output node, the first and second input nodes being coupled to first and second input terminals, respectively, of the semiconductor device and the output node being coupled to the control node of the semiconductor switch, the first and second input terminals being substantially center-positioned on the semiconductor device.
