Abstract

There is described a semiconductor device which includes in a single chip a high withstanding voltage transistor and a low withstanding voltage transistor and which imparts each of the transistors with a relevant threshold voltage and a characteristic suitable for retarding hot carriers. Specifically, an impurity profile is imparted to a lightly-doped extension (LDDEX) region formed across a channel region of a low withstanding voltage NMOS transistor, and a different impurity profile is imparted to an LDDEX region formed across a channel region of a high withstanding voltage NMOS transistor. These impurity profiles bring the threshold voltages of the MOS transistors to individual relevant voltages and retard hot carriers in the individual MOS transistors.
