Provided is a high voltage semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a doped well located in a substrate that is oppositely doped. The semiconductor device includes a dielectric structure located on the doped well. A portion of the doped well adjacent the dielectric structure has a higher doping concentration than a remaining portion of the doped well. The semiconductor device includes an elongate polysilicon structure located on the dielectric structure. The elongate polysilicon structure has a length L. The portion of the doped well adjacent the dielectric structure is electrically coupled to a segment of the elongate polysilicon structure that is located away from a midpoint of the elongate polysilicon structure by a predetermined distance that is measured along the elongate polysilicon structure. The predetermined distance is in a range from about 0*L to about 0.1*L.
