Abstract

Methods of making, structures, devices, and/or applications for lateral double-diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) transistors are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of fabricating an LDMOS transistor with source, drain, and gate regions on a substrate, can include: forming p-type and n-type buried layer (PBL, NBL) regions; growing an epitaxial (N-EPI) layer on the NBL/PBL regions; forming a p-doped deep p-well (DPW) region on the PBL region; forming a well region in the N-EPI layer; forming a doped body region; forming an active area and a field oxide (FOX) region, and forming a drain oxide between the source and drain regions of the LDMOS transistor; forming a gate oxide adjacent to the source and drain regions, and forming a gate on the gate oxide and a portion of the drain oxide; and forming a doped drain region, and first and second doped source regions.
