    Abstract: Disclosed is a lateral double-diffused metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (LDMOSFET) with a replacement metal gate (RMG) structure that includes a first section, which traverses a semiconductor body at a channel region in a first-type well, and a second section, which is adjacent to the first section and which traverses the semiconductor body at a drain drift region in a second-type well. The RMG structure includes, in both sections, a first-type work function layer and a second-type work function layer on the first-type work function layer. However, the thickness of the first-type work function layer in the first section is greater than the thickness in the second section such that the RMG structure is asymmetric. Thus, threshold voltage (Vt) at the first section is greater than Vt at the second section and the LDMOSFET has a relatively high breakdown voltage (BV). Also disclosed are methods for forming the LDMOSFET.

    Abstract: Structures for a semiconductor device that include dielectric isolation and methods of forming a structure for a semiconductor device that includes dielectric isolation. A semiconductor body includes a cavity, first and second gate structures extending over the semiconductor body, and a semiconductor layer including first and second sections on the semiconductor body. The first section of the semiconductor layer is laterally positioned between the cavity and the first gate structure, and the second section on the semiconductor layer is laterally positioned between the cavity and the second gate structure. An isolation structure is laterally positioned between the first and second sections of the semiconductor layer. The isolation structure includes a dielectric layer and a sidewall spacer having first and second sections. The dielectric layer includes a first portion in the cavity and a second portion between the first and second sections of the sidewall spacer.
