Some embodiments relate to a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a drain region and a channel region surrounding the drain region. A source region surrounds the channel region such that the channel region separates the drain region from the source region. A gate electrode is arranged over the channel region and has an inner edge proximate to the drain. A resistor structure, which is made up of a curved or polygonal path of resistive material, is arranged over the drain and is coupled to the drain. The resistor structure is perimeterally bounded by the inner edge of the gate electrode.
