    Abstract: The LDMOS transistor (1) of the invention comprises a substrate (2), a gate electrode (10), a substrate contact region (11), a source region (3), a channel region (4) and a drain region (5), which drain region (5) comprises a drain contact region (6) and a drain extension region (7). The drain contact region (6) is electrically connected to a top metal layer (23), which extends over the drain extension region (7), with a distance (723) between the top metal layer (23) and the drain extension region (7) that is larger than 2μm. This way the area of the drain contact region (6) may be reduced and the RF power output efficiency of the LDMOS transistor (1) increased. In another embodiment the source region (3) is electrically connected to the substrate contact region (11) via a suicide layer (32) instead of a first metal layer (21), thereby reducing the capacitive coupling between the source region (3) and the drain region (5) and hence increasing the RF power output efficiency of the LDMOS transistor (1) further.

    Abstract: The LDMOS transistor (1) of the invention comprises a source region (3), a channel region (4), a drain extension region (7) and a gate electrode (10). The LDMOS transistor (1) further comprises a first gate oxide layer (8) and a second gate oxide layer (9), which is thicker than the first gate oxide layer (8). The first gate oxide layer (8) at least extends over a first portion of the channel region (4), which is adjacent to the source region (3). The second gate oxide layer (9) extends over a region where a local maximum (A, B) of the electric field (E) generates hot carriers thereby reducing the impact of the hot carriers and reducing the Idq-degradation. In another embodiment the second gate oxide layer (9) extends over a second portion of the channel region (4), which mutually connects the drain extension region (7) and the first portion of the channel region (4), thereby improving the linear efficiency of the LDMOS transistor (1).
