Double Diffusion MOS transistor.

Use a n-doped semiconductor to build a n-channel-type device. Make a p-diffusion. Inside, put a n-diffusion. Put field oxide over p-diffusion, between epi and n-diffusion. Put gate polysilicium. The drain can be another n-diffusion at the side (lateral DMOS) or a n-buried layer (vertical DMOS).

Its vertical variant is usually used to take big voltages as its drain area can be very long and is usually only doped lightly.
