An N-channel device (40, 60) is described having a lightly doped substrate
(42, 42') in which adjacent or spaced-apart P (46, 46') and N (44) wells
are provided. A lateral isolation wall (76) surrounds at least a portion
of the substrate (42, 42') and is spaced apart from the wells (46, 46',
44). A first gate (G1) (56) overlies the P (46) well or the substrate
(42') between the wells (46', 44) or partly both. A second gate (G2)
(66), spaced apart from G1 (56), overlies the N-well (44). A body contact
(74) to the substrate (42, 42') is spaced apart from the isolation wall
(76) by a first distance (745) within the space charge region of the
substrate (42, 42') to isolation wall (76) PN junction. When the body
contact (74) is connected to G2 (66), a predetermined static bias Vg2 is
provided to G2 (66) depending upon the isolation wall bias (Vbias) and
the first distance (745). The resulting device (40, 60) operates at
higher voltage with lower Rdson and less HCI.
