Non-uniformly doped high voltage drain-extended transistor and method of manufacture thereof

摘要

The present invention provides, in one embodiment, a transistor (100). The transistor (100) comprises a doped semiconductor substrate (105) and a gate structure (110) over the semiconductor substrate (105), the gate structure (110) having a gate corner (125). The transistor (100) also includes a drain-extended well (115) surrounded by the doped semiconductor substrate (105). The drain-extended well (115) has an opposite dopant type as the doped semiconductor substrate (105). The drain-extended well (115) also has a low-doped region (145) between high-doped regions (150), wherein an edge of the low-doped region (155) is substantially coincident with a perimeter (140) defined by the gate corner (125). Other embodiments of the present invention include a method of manufacturing a transistor (200) and an integrated circuit (300).
