Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention include a high voltage transistor with one or more field plates and methods of forming such transistors. According to an embodiment, the transistor may include a source region, a drain region, and a gate electrode formed over a channel region formed between the source region and drain region. Embodiments of the invention may also include a first interlayer dielectric (ILD) formed over the channel region and a second ILD formed over the first ILD. According to an embodiment, a first field plate may be formed in the second ILD. In an embodiment the first field plate is not formed as a single bulk conductive feature with the gate electrode. In some embodiments, the first field plate may be electrically coupled to the gate electrode by one or more vias. In alternative embodiments, the first field plate may be electrically isolated from the gate electrode.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 16 , wherein the second field plate opening is patterned at the same time one or more interconnect line openings are patterned in the third ILD, and wherein the second field plate is deposited at the same time the interconnect lines are formed in the third ILD.
