Self-protected metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor
Device structures, design structures, and fabrication methods for a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor. A gate structure is formed on a top surface of a substrate. First and second trenches are formed in the substrate adjacent to a sidewall of the gate structure. The second trench is formed laterally between the first trench and the first sidewall. First and second epitaxial layers are respectively formed in the first and second trenches. A contact is formed to the first epitaxial layer, which serves as a drain. The second epitaxial layer in the second trench is not contacted so that the second epitaxial layer serves as a ballasting resistor.
