Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An isolation region is formed in a semiconductor substrate to laterally define and electrically isolate a device region and first and second laterally adjacent well regions are formed in the device region. A gate structure is formed above the device region such that the first well region extends below an entirety of the gate structure and a well region interface formed between the first and second well regions is laterally offset from a drain-side edge of the gate structure. Source and drain regions are formed in the device region such that the source region extends laterally from a source-side edge of the gate structure and across a first portion of the first well region to a first inner edge of the isolation region and the drain region extends laterally from the drain-side edge and across a second portion of the first well region.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A method, comprising: forming an isolation region in a semiconductor substrate so as to laterally define and electrically isolate a device region; forming a first well region doped with a first type of dopant material in said device region; forming a second well region doped with a second type of dopant material in said device region laterally adjacent to said first well region, wherein said second type of dopant material has an opposite conductivity type f…
