Abstract

A lateral diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) transistor is provided. The LDMOS transistor includes a substrate having a source region, channel region, and a drain region. A first implant is formed to a first depth in the substrate. A gate electrode is formed over the channel region in the substrate between the source region and the drain region. A second implant is formed in the source region of the substrate; the second implant is laterally diffused under the gate electrode a predetermined distance. A third implant is formed to a second depth in the drain region of the substrate; the second depth is less than the first depth. A method for forming the LDMOS transistor is also provided.
