Abstract: A high voltage semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof are provided in the present invention. A recess is formed in a semiconductor substrate, and a gate dielectric layer and a main gate structure are formed in the recess. Therefore, the high voltage semiconductor device formed by the manufacturing method of the present invention may include the main gate structure lower than a top surface of an isolation structure formed in the semiconductor substrate. Problems about integrated manufacturing processes of the high voltage semiconductor device and other kinds of semiconductor devices when the gate structure is relatively high because of the thicker gate dielectric layer required in the high voltage semiconductor device may be improved accordingly.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device and a device manufactured using the same are provided. According to a method approach of the embodiment, a substrate having at least a first area with a plurality of polysilicon gates and a second area adjacent to the first area is provided. A contact etch stop layer (CESL) over the polysilicon gates of the first area is formed, and the CESL extends to the second area. Then, a dielectric layer is formed on the CESL, and a nitride layer is formed on the dielectric layer. The nitride layer is patterned to expose the dielectric layer in the first area and to form a pattern of dummy nitrides on the dielectric layer in the second area.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a transistor with reduced hot carrier injection effects includes providing a substrate covered by a gate material layer. Later, the gate material layer is patterned into a gate electrode. Then, a mask layer is formed to cover part of the gate electrode and expose two ends of the gate electrode. Finally, a first implantation process is performed to implant dopants through the exposed two ends of the gate electrode into the substrate directly under the gate electrode to form two LDD regions by taking the mask layer as a mask.
