Abstract
A high voltage high side DMOS removing the N-buried layer from the DMOS bottom provides lower Ron*A at given breakdown voltage. The high voltage high side DMOS has a P-type substrate, an epitaxial layer, a field oxide, an N-type well region a gate oxide, a gate poly, a P-type base region, a deep P-type region, an N-type lightly doped well region, a first N-type highly doped region, a second N-type highly doped region and a P-type highly doped region.
