A lateral double-diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) transistor includes a silicon semiconductor structure and a vertical gate. The vertical gate includes (a) a first gate conductor and a second gate conductor each extending from a first outer surface of the silicon semiconductor structure into the silicon semiconductor structure in a thickness direction, (b) a first separation dielectric layer separating the first gate conductor from the second gate conductor within the vertical gate, and (c) a gate dielectric layer separating each of the first gate conductor and the second gate conductor from the silicon semiconductor structure. |
