1. A method of fabricating a semiconductor device, comprising the steps of:
providing a semiconductor having a substrate region of a first conductivity type and first impurity concentration, extending to a surface of the semiconductor;
impurity doping a first region of the first conductivity type and a second dopant concentration in a first portion of the substrate region to form a first doped well extending substantially to the surface;
impurity doping a second region of a second, opposite conductivity type and a third dopant concentration within a second portion of the substrate region different from the first portion of the substrate region, thereby forming a second doped well extending substantially to the surface;
forming a first gate dielectric surmounted by a first gate, at least partially overlying the first region or the substrate region or both;
forming a second gate dielectric surmounted by a second gate, substantially overlying the second region and spaced apart from the first gate;
impurity doping a third region of the second conductivity type and a fourth impurity concentration in the substrate region, adapted when biased to form a depletion region at least partly in the substrate region or in a combination of the substrate region and the first region;
forming a bias contact to a part of the depletion region; and
electrically coupling the bias contact to the second gate.
