    Abstract: High-voltage transistors that may be fabricated in a standard low-voltage process. Embodiments include integrated circuits that combine, in a unitary structure, an LDMOS FET device that includes one or more dummy polysilicon structures (DPS's) overlying a drift region and comparable in configuration to the FET gate, and interstitial implant resistance pockets (IRP) formed within the drift region between the gate and an adjacent DPS and between each pair of adjacent DPS's. The IRPs may be augmented with floating contacts to remove heat from the drift region and provide additional shielding of the drain contact from the nearest edge of the gate. The IRPs may be biased to modulate the conductivity of the drift region. The DPS's may be biased to modulate the conductivity of the drift region, and in such a way as to protect each DPS from excessive and potentially destructive voltages.
