Abstract
Methods for forming body contact layouts for semiconductor structures are disclosed. In at least one exemplary embodiment, a method comprises: forming a plurality of gates disposed on a semiconductor layer, each gate extending parallel to a y-axis in a coordinate space; a source region disposed between two of the plurality of gates; a plurality of body contacts disposed in each source region; and wherein a portion of each body contact, adjacent to the gate, has a width extending parallel to the y-axis that is less than the width of the body contact parallel to the y-axis at a distance on an x-axis from the gate.
