Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a source region. A drain region has a first conductivity type and a second dopant concentration spaced apart from the source region. A first drift region is located between the source region and the drain region and has the first conductivity type and a first dopant concentration that is lower than the second dopant concentration of the drain region. An oxide structure includes a first portion on or over the first drift region and a tapered portion between the first portion and the drain region. A substrate surface extension is between the tapered portion and the drain region. A buffer region has the first conductivity type between the first drift region and the drain region and under the tapered portion of the oxide structure. The buffer region has a third dopant concentration between the second dopant concentration and the first dopant concentration.
