Abstract

Transistors with improved saturation drain current and methods for making such transistors are disclosed. The gate is formed in the shape of a longitudinal trench and a plurality of lateral trenches below the longitudinal trench. The resulting dual-recess structure increases the surface area of the gate, which permits additional charge carriers and increases the saturation drain current of the transistor. Such transistors can be useful in high voltage and medium voltage applications such as in display driver integrated circuits.
