Abstract:
Some embodiments relate to an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit includes a ring-shaped drain region having an inner edge and an outer edge. A channel region surrounds the ring-shaped drain region. A source region surrounds the channel region. The channel region separates the drain region from the source region. A gate electrode is arranged over the channel region and is separated from the channel region by a gate dielectric. An inner edge of the gate electrode is proximate to the drain region. A resistor structure is arranged over and spaced apart from an upper surface of the substrate. The resistor structure has a first end and a second end which are connected by a curved or polygonal path of resistive material. The first end is coupled to the ring-shaped drain. The resistor has an outer perimeter that is surrounded by the inner edge of the ring-shaped drain region.

Claim (Index 1):
A semiconductor device, comprising:\n a transistor, comprising:\n a ring-shaped drain region disposed in a substrate, the ring-shaped drain region having an inner edge and an outer edge; \n a channel region disposed in the substrate and surrounding the ring-shaped drain region; \n a source region disposed in the substrate and surrounding the channel region, wherein the channel region separates the drain region from the source region; and \n a gate electrode arranged over the channel region, the gate electrode separated from the channel region by a gate dielectric, and having an inner edge proximate to the drain region; and \n a resistor structure arranged in series with the transistor, the resistor structure arranged over the substrate and perimeterally bounded by the inner edge of the ring-shaped drain region, the resistor structure having a first end and a second end which are connected by a curved or polygonal path of resistive material, wherein the first end is electrically coupled to the ring-shaped drain region, and the second end is electrically isolated from the gate electrode and the source region.
