HIGH VOLTAGE MOS TRANSISTOR

摘要

A high voltage metal oxide semiconductor (HVMOS) transistor (1) comprises a drift region (8) comprising a material having a mobility which is higher than a mobility of Si. There is also provided a method of manufacturing said transistor, the method comprising forming a drift region comprising a material having a mobility which is higher than a mobility of Silicon. The material can be a Si-Ge strained material. The on- resistance is reduced compared to a transistor with a drift region made of Si, so that the trade-off between breakdown voltage and on-resistance is improved.
