TRANSISTOR WITH GATE ATTACHED FIELD PLATE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17752610 titled 'TRANSISTOR WITH GATE ATTACHED FIELD PLATE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus that includes a substrate and a transistor on the substrate.
- The transistor has a gate between a source area and a drain area.
- The transistor also has routing lanes above the gate for automated routing programs to layout metal connections.
- A first field plate is placed above a LDD region of the source area, on the same level as the routing lanes.
- A second field plate is placed above a LDD region of the drain area, also on the same level as the routing lanes.
- The first and second field plates are electrically connected to the gate using separate paths that bypass the routing lanes.
Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus includes a substrate and a transistor disposed on the substrate. The transistor can include a gate disposed between a source area and a drain area of the transistor. The transistor can also include a plurality of routing lanes above the gate for use by automated routing programs that layout metal connections for the apparatus. A first field plate can be disposed above a LDD region of the source area with the first field plate being on a same level as the plurality of routing lanes. A second field plate can be disposed above a LDD region of the drain area with the second field plate being on the same level as the plurality of routing lanes. The first and second field plates can be electrically connected to the gate using respective first and second path that bypass the plurality of routing lanes.
