A laterally diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) transistor with a vertical channel region is provided. A first semiconductor region is formed over a second semiconductor region and with a first doping type. The second semiconductor region has a second doping type different than the first doping type. A gate electrode is formed laterally adjacent to the first semiconductor region and extending along a side boundary of the first semiconductor region. A first source/drain contact region and a second source/drain contact region are respectively formed on opposite sides of the gate electrode and with the second doping type. The first source/drain contact region is further formed over the first semiconductor region. A method for manufacturing the LDMOS transistor is also provided.
