Method for fabricating high-voltage (hv) transistor

Abstract

A method for fabricating a high-voltage (HV) transistor is provided. The method includes providing a substrate, having a first isolation structure and a second isolation structure in the substrate and a recess in the substrate between the first and second isolation structures. Further, a hydrogen annealing process is performed over the recess. A sacrificial dielectric layer is formed on the recess. The sacrificial dielectric layer is removed, wherein a portion of the first and second isolation structures is also removed. A gate oxide layer is formed in the recess between the first and second isolation structures after the hydrogen annealing process.
