High-voltage mos transistor method and apparatus

TLDR
In this article, a MIS FET is constructed with linearly graded PN junctions and the diffusion profile, as related to the geometry of the gate, is such that the junction depletion layer will extend into the drain region to a point under the thick field oxide so that a critical electric field is not produced in the thin gate oxide causing rupture thereof.
Abstract
An MIS FET device and method of making the same wherein a device of nominal topology is made capable of sustaining drain to source potentials substantially higher than the normal breakdown potentials of prior art devices. The present invention is constructed with linearly graded PN junctions and the diffusion profile, as related to the geometry of the gate, is such that the junction depletion layer will extend into the drain region to a point under the thick field oxide so that a critical electric field is not produced in the thin gate oxide causing rupture thereof.

Structure for high breakdown PN diode with relatively high surface doping

TL;DR: In this article, a high voltage PN junction in which a surface layer of the more lightly doped side of the junction, adjacent to the heavily doped part of junction, is doped more heavily than the rest of that region and with the same conductivity type, is formed so that an overlying field plate totally depletes it before critical field for avalanche is reached.
