Abstract
A field-effect transistor (FET) structure and method of formation thereof is presented. The FET structure includes first and second source/drain regions formed in a semiconductor substrate to define a channel region. A gate insulation layer is formed at a surface of the channel region. A control layer is formed at a surface of the gate insulation layer. A diode doping region is formed to realize a diode in the semiconductor substrate. An electrically conductive diode connection layer connects the diode doping region to the control layer. A depression is formed in the semiconductor substrate. The diode doping region is formed at a bottom of the depression and the diode connection layer is formed in the depression to dissipate excess charge carriers in the semiconductor substrate.
