  • Patent number: 6521962
    Abstract: A P channel high voltage metal oxide semiconductor device is described which is integrated in the same chip or wafer as standard P channel and N channel metal oxide semiconductor devices. The high voltage device has a lightly doped p− drift region adjacent to the heavily doped p+ drain region. A high voltage support region is formed directly below the drift region using high energy ion implantation with an implantation energy of between about 2 and 3 Mev. This high energy ion implantation is used to precisely locate the high voltage support region directly below the drift region. This high voltage support region avoids punch-through from the P channel drain through the drift region into the substrate while using a standard depth for the n type well. This allows the high voltage device to be integrated into the same chip or wafer as standard P channel and N channel metal oxide semiconductor devices.
