Abstract

A high voltage LDMOS device having high side source voltage, an n type buried layer and a p type buried layer situated on the interface between a p type substrate and an n type epitaxial layer; a lateral surface of the n type buried layer and a lateral surface of the p type buried layer not in contact, and are distant from one another with a distance, thereby increasing the withstand voltage between the n type buried layer and the p type buried layer; the p type buried layer and the drain overlap at least partially in a vertical direction, enabling the p type buried layer to exert a reduced surface field action on the drain, to increase the withstand voltage of the drain against the source; the source and the body terminal centrally on top of the n type buried layer.
