Abstract
This disclosure relates to a semiconductor device, and associated method of manufacture. The semiconductor device includes, a MOSFET integrated with a p-n junction, the p-n junction arranged as a clamping diode across a source contact and a drain contact of the MOSFET. The MOSFET defines a first breakdown voltage, and the clamping diode defines a second breakdown voltage, and the first breakdown voltage is greater than the second breakdown voltage. A series resistance of the clamping diode includes a drift resistance and a clamping resistance, and the drift resistance is formed together with the clamping diode and the clamping resistance is formed independently from the clamping diode and configured to secure a uniform avalanche current.
