  • Patent number: 9245996
    Abstract: A LDMOS transistor device includes a substrate including a first insulating structure formed therein, a gate formed on the substrate and covering a portion of the first insulating structure, a drain region and a source region formed in the substrate at two respective sides of the gate, a base region encompassing the source region, and a doped layer formed under the base region. The drain region and the source region include a first conductivity type, the base region and the doped layer include a second conductivity type, and the second conductivity type is complementary to the first conductivity type. A top of the doped layer contacts a bottom of the base region. A width of the doped layer is larger than a width of the base region.

  • Patent number: 8803235
    Abstract: A lateral-diffused metal oxide semiconductor device (LDMOS) includes a substrate, a first deep well, at least a field oxide layer, a gate, a second deep well, a first dopant region, a drain and a common source. The substrate has the first deep well which is of a first conductive type. The gate is disposed on the substrate and covers a portion of the field oxide layer. The second deep well having a second conductive type is disposed in the substrate and next to the first deep well. The first dopant region having a second conductive type is disposed in the second deep well. The doping concentration of the first dopant region is higher than the doping concentration of the second deep well.
