Ldmos transistor structures and integrated circuits including ldmos transistor structures

Abstract

LDMOS transistor structures and integrated circuits including LDMOS transistor structures are provided. An exemplary integrated circuit including an LDMOS transistor structure includes a substrate including a first region and a second region. The substrate includes a bulk layer and, in the second region, an insulator layer overlying the bulk layer and a semiconductor layer overlying the insulator layer. The integrated circuit further includes a gate structure overlying the semiconductor layer. A channel region is formed in the semiconductor layer under the gate structure. The integrated circuit also includes a well contact region on the bulk layer in the first region, a source region overlying the substrate, and a drain region overlying the substrate. A drift region is located between the drain region and the gate structure.
