Abstract
An integrated power device includes a semiconductor body of a first conductivity type comprising a first region accommodating a start-up structure, and a second region accommodating a power structure. The two structures are separated from one another by an edge structure and are arranged in a mirror configuration with respect to a symmetry line of the edge structure. Both the start-up structure and the power structure are obtained using MOSFET devices. Both MOSFET devices are multi-drain MOSFET devices, having mesh regions, source regions and gate regions separated from one another. In addition, both MOSFET devices have drain regions delimited by columns that repeat periodically at a fixed distance. Between the two MOSFET devices there is an electrical insulation of at least 25 V.
