Abstract

Abstract The present invention discloses a structure of a transistor in a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same. The present invention manufactures a high voltage transistor by etching a silicon substrate to a depth deeper than that of the field oxide film by a self-aligned wet etching process using the field oxide film as a mask and, thereafter, by forming the first gate electrode which electrically switches ON and OFF between the source region and the drain region by using a gate electrode mask and simultaneously forming a second gate electrode to prevent a junction breakdown below the bird's beak of the field oxide film. Accordingly, the present invention can improve the degree of integration of the device by forming a gate electrode to prevent a junction breakdown below the bird's beak of the field oxide film.
