Patent ID: 8847332

Claim:
A high voltage semiconductor device, comprising: a semiconductor substrate having a high voltage well with a first conductivity type therein; a well with a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type in the semiconductor substrate, wherein the well surrounds and is in direct contact with the high voltage well; a gate structure disposed on the semiconductor substrate of the high voltage well and comprising a gate electrode and gate spacers on opposite sidewalls of the gate electrode; a source doped region and a drain doped region in the high voltage well on both sides of the gate structure, respectively; and a lightly doped region with the first conductivity type between the source and drain doped regions and relatively near to the source doped region, wherein the lightly doped region surrounds the source doped region, and wherein the drain region comprises a double diffused region with the second conductivity type and having a depth greater than that of the lightly doped region, wherein one of the gate spacers is in direct contact with the lightly doped region, and wherein the other of the gate spacers is in direct contact with the double diffused region.
