摘要: An LDMOS array includes an of alternating source regions and drain formed in a semiconductor substrate to define checkerboard pattern regions. A contact is electrical with each the connect parallel. ring around periphery contact, providing redistribution current flow within thereby allowing safer hot carrier operation at higher biases than conventional layout.
