Abstract

An insulated-gate field-effect transistor (426, 452) has reduced gate oxide stress. According to one embodiment, the control gate (458) has a doped region (460) adjacent the source end of the transistor (452), and an undoped dielectric portion (462) adjacent the gate end. According to another embodiment, the drain end of the conductive gate (434) is disposed on top of a thick insulator region (432) that also acts to mitigate the high electric fields present when the transistor is subjected to a high voltage transient.
