An integrated circuit containing an extended drain MOS transistor may be formed by forming a drift region implant mask with mask fingers abutting a channel region and extending to the source/channel active area, but not extending to a drain contact active area. Dopants implanted through the exposed fingers form lateral doping striations in the substrate under the mask fingers. An average doping density of the drift region under the gate is at least 25 percent less than an average doping density of the drift region at the drain contact active area. In one embodiment, the dopants diffuse laterally to form a continuous drift region. In another embodiment, substrate material between lateral doping striations remains an opposite conductivity type from the lateral doping striations.
