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.

Some embodiments relate to a method. In the method, a semiconductor substrate is provided. Dopant impurities of a first dopant conductivity are implanted into the semiconductor substrate to form a body region. A gate dielectric and a field oxide region are formed over the semiconductor substrate. A polysilicon layer is formed over the gate dielectric and field oxide region. The polysilicon layer is patterned to concurrently form a conductive gate electrode over the gate dielectric and a resistor structure over the field oxide region. The resistor structure is perimeterally bounded by an inner edge of the conductive gate electrode. Dopant impurities of a second dopant conductivity, which is opposite the first dopant conductivity, are implanted into the semiconductor substrate to form a source region and a drain region. The drain region is perimeterally bounded by the inner edge of the conductive gate electrode.

A lateral DMOS transistor is provided with a source region, a drain region, and a conductive gate. The drain region is laterally separated from the conductive gate by a field oxide that encroaches beneath the conductive gate. The lateral DMOS transistor may be formed in a racetrack-like configuration with the conductive gate including a rectilinear portion and a curved portion and surrounded by the source region. Disposed between the conductive gate and the trapped drain is one or more levels of interlevel dielectric material. One or more groups of isolated conductor leads are formed in or on the dielectric layers and may be disposed at multiple device levels. The isolated conductive leads increase the breakdown voltage of the lateral DMOS transistor particularly in the curved regions where electric field crowding can otherwise degrade breakdown voltages.
