Abstract

A high-voltage semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a gate structure, a drain, an insulation structure, and a plurality of conductive structures. The insulation structure is disposed in the semiconductor substrate and disposed between the gate structure and the drain. The insulation structure includes a plurality of insulation units disposed separately from one another. Each of the conductive structures is embedded in one of the insulation units.
