Abstract:
1. An electronic device comprising: at least one transistor in a semiconductor substrate and comprising a first electrode, a second electrode, a control electrode, and a substrate region between said first and second electrodes; said first electrode comprising a first electrically conductive region in the semiconductor substrate; said second electrode comprising a second electrically conductive region in the semiconductor substrate; said first and second electrically conductive regions being separated by said substrate region; said control electrode comprising a third electrically conductive region in the semiconductor substrate, said third electrically conductive region directly contacting with another region of the semiconductor substrate; an insulating region separating said third electrically conductive region from said substrate region; and a junction diode configured to couple said third electrically conductive region to a portion of the semiconductor substrate directly under said third electrically conductive region and extending under said insulation region.
