Abstract

See full text

A high current MOS transistor integrated bridge structure includes at least two arms, each having a first and a second MOS transistor. The structure is formed on an N++ substrate forming a positive potential output terminal, and an N-type epitaxial layer. For each first transistor, an L shaped region is formed of a horizontal N+ region which is connected to the surface through an N++ vertical region. Forming a corresponding alternating current input with this region is an N type region which has within it a succession of P type regions, and a pair of N+ type regions forming a negative potential output terminal. For each second transistor, an N+ region has N++ lateral regions extending to the surface, and includes an N type region containing a succession of P type regions and a pair of N+ regions forming corresponding alternating current inputs. The first transistor of each arm is entirely contained within a P type isolation region which has P+ regions extending to the surface of the substrate.
