Transistor with improved safe operating area

   
   

Segmented transistor devices are provided, wherein contiguous individual transistor segments extend along corresponding segment axes, in which two or more of the segment axes are at a non-zero angle with respect to one another. The segmentation of the transistor provides a high overall device aspect ratio which may be easily fit into pre-existing circuit blocks or cells in a device layout, thereby facilitating device scaling.
