    Abstract: Disclosed are a semiconductor structure and method of forming the structure. The semiconductor structure includes an extended drain metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (EDMOSFET). The EDMOSFET includes, in the semiconductor layer, a body well, which has a source region therein, and a drain drift well, which abuts the body well and has a drain region therein. A trench gate structure is within the drain drift well positioned laterally between the body-drain drift junction and an internal shallow trench isolation (STI) region and the internal STI region is between the trench gate structure and the drain region. A primary gate structure is on the top surface of the semiconductor layer traversing the body-drain drift junction and optionally extending over the trench gate structure. Gate dielectric material physically separates gate conductor materials of the primary and trench gate structures. Optionally, the EDMOSFET includes more than one trench gate structure.

    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.
