Semiconductor device with leakage current guide path and method for fabricating the same

Abstract

The present application discloses a semiconductor device and a method for fabricating the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a substrate; a bottom conductive region positioned in the substrate; a first gate structure positioned on the substrate; a first drain region positioned in the substrate and adjacent to one sidewall of the first gate structure; and a first extended conductive region positioned in the substrate, under the first drain region, contacting a bottom surface of the first drain region, and distant from the bottom conductive region. A top surface of the first drain region and a top surface of the substrate are substantially coplanar. The bottom conductive region and the first extended conductive region include the same electrical type. The first drain region and the first extended conductive region include different electrical types.
