    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide an integrated circuit device and related methods. The disclosure may provide a transistor device, including: a gate structure; a drain extension region extending laterally from partially under the gate structure to a drain region; and a gate spacer located over the drain extension region. A silicide-blocking layer is over and in contact with the gate spacer. The silicide-blocking layer has a first end over the gate structure and a second, opposing end over the drain extension region. The structure also provides a conductive field plate, including a conductive layer over and in contact with the silicide-blocking layer. A field plate contact is formed on the conductive field plate.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) structure and a field plate are disclosed. The IC structure and field plate may find advantageous application with, for example, extended drain metal-oxide semiconductor (EDMOS) transistors. The IC structure includes a transistor including a metal gate structure and a drain extension region extending laterally from partially under the metal gate structure to a drain region. A metal field plate is over the drain extension region. Due to being formed simultaneously as part of a gate-last formation approach, the metal field plate has an upper surface coplanar with an upper surface of the metal gate structure. A field plate contact may be on the metal field plate.
