Abstract
Device structures for a high-voltage semiconductor device and methods of forming such device structures. The structure comprises a semiconductor substrate and a layer stack including a first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer is positioned between the second dielectric layer and the semiconductor substrate. The structure further comprises a field-effect transistor including a first source/drain region in the semiconductor substrate, a second source/drain region in the semiconductor substrate, and a metal gate on the layer stack laterally between the first source/drain region and the second source/drain region. The second dielectric layer is positioned between the metal gate and the first dielectric layer. A contact extends through the layer stack to the first source/drain region.
