Abstract

A method for fabricating a lateral diffusion metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) device includes the steps of first forming a first fin-shaped structure and a second fin-shaped structure on a substrate, forming a shallow trench isolation (STI) between the first fin-shaped structure and the second fin-shaped structure, forming a first gate structure on the first fin-shaped structure and a second gate structure on the second fin-shaped structure, forming a source region on the first fin-shaped structure, forming a drain region on the second fin-shaped structure, and forming a contact field plate directly on the STI.
