Abstract
A lateral power metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) having a gate design in which the gate structure is coupled to the gate electrode through contacts at a plurality of locations. The gate electrode is disposed over the gate structure along the length of a MOSFET finger. In one embodiment, the gate electrode is coupled to the gate structure through contacts at the ends of the MOSFET finger such that there is a contact-free portion of the gate region between the contacts.
