A VTMOS transistor in semiconductor material of a first type of conductivity includes a body region of a second type of conductivity and a source region of the first type of conductivity. A gate region extends into the main surface through the body region and is insulated from the semiconductor material. A region of the gate region extends onto the main surface is insulated from the rest of the gate region. An anode region of the first type of conductivity is formed into said insulated region, and a cathode region of the second type of conductivity is formed into said insulated region in contact with the anode region; the anode region and the cathode region define a thermal diode electrically insulated from the chip.
