Abstract
An embodiment of a transistor die includes a semiconductor substrate a drain region, a channel region, a drain terminal, and a conductive gate tap. The conductive gate tap includes a distal end that is coupled to a gate structure over the channel region. A first segment of the drain region is adjacent to the distal end of the gate tap. The drain terminal includes a drain runner formed from one or more portions of the patterned conductive layers. A plurality of drain pillars electrically connects the drain runner to second and third segments of the drain region, and a plurality of second drain pillars electrically connect the drain runner and the third drain region segment. The build-up structure over the second drain region segment between the first and second drain pillars is devoid of electrical connections between the drain runner and the drain region.
