An LDMOS is formed with a second gate stack over n− drift region, having a common gate electrode with the gate stack, and having a higher work function than the gate stack. Embodiments include a device including a substrate; a first well and a second well in the substrate, the first well being doped with a first conductivity type dopant, the second well being doped with a second conductivity type dopant, and the second well surrounding the first well; a source in the first well and a drain in the second well; a doped region of the first conductivity type dopant in the first well, the doped region functioning as a body contact to the first well; a first gate stack on a portion of the first well; a second gate stack on a portion of the second well, the first and second gate stacks having a common gate electrode.
