Abstract
A high voltage metal oxide semiconductor device with low on-state resistance is provided. A multi-segment isolation structure is arranged under a gate structure and beside a drift region for blocking the current from directly entering the drift region. Due to the multi-segment isolation structure, the path length from the body region to the drift region is increased. Consequently, as the breakdown voltage applied to the gate structure is increased, the on-state resistance is reduced.
