Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a transistor in a semiconductor substrate. The transistor includes a drift zone of a first conductivity type adjacent to a drain region, and a first field plate and a second field plate adjacent to the drift zone. The second field plate is arranged between the first field plate and the drain region. The second field plate is electrically connected to a contact portion arranged in the drift zone. The transistor further includes an intermediate portion of the first conductivity type at a lower doping concentration than the drift zone. A distance between the intermediate portion and the drain region is smaller than the distance between the contact portion and the drain region.
