Abstract

The present invention discloses a lateral double diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) device and a manufacturing method thereof. The LDMOS device includes: drift region, an isolation oxide region, a first oxide region, a second oxide region, a gate, a body region, a source, and a drain. The isolation oxide region, the first oxide region, and the second oxide region have an isolation thickness, a first thickness, and a second thickness respectively, wherein the second thickness is less than the first thickness. The present invention can reduce a conduction resistance without decreasing a breakdown voltage of the LDMOS device by the first oxidation region and the second oxidation region.
