Is there any good method to reduce Rdson of power MOSFET in IC?

regardless of the mathod speeking stand point of design, layout or process.
if someone could give some advice ?
thanks.
 

For lower Rdson, design n-channel MOSFET instead of p-channel.
 

yeah, right.
but, both of nmos and pmos must be used in design.
 

Strained layers will improve one or the other's mobility
but degrade its opposite.

LDMOS structures have better Rds(on)*BV product
than thicker oxides or stacked FETs but need special
process engineered.

Silicided S/D and reduced contact-gate spacing
improves extrinsic resistance. LDD structures that
are used to improve leakage / BV tend to also be
applied to the source where they do no good (Rs
is always worse than Rd except for current mirror
match and drain linearity - degeneration). But the
LDD is often the only thing that hooks the source
/ drain up to the channel, S/D are stood off by the
spacer.

Your options may be mask accessible or may require
process fiddling. What are your tools?
 

thanks, learned a lot
helpful.
