SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

摘要

A Voltage-Adaptor capable of converting an externally supplied high voltage connected e.g. to the drain of a MOS or other semiconductor device to a lower voltage. The device comprises a first structure (225) comprising an at least partially conducting material, the voltage adaptor being arranged to influence a first voltage at a portion of a second structure (222) comprising a semiconductor material such that the first voltage at said portion of the second structure is different from a second voltage applied to the second structure, wherein the first structure is arranged to be connected to a bias voltage, and the voltage adaptor further comprises an insulating material (155) arranged to separate the first and second structures.
