Abstract

A high voltage metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor device includes a substrate, at least an isolation structure formed in the substrate, a gate formed on the substrate, and a source region and a drain region formed in the substrate at respective sides of the gate. The isolation structure further includes a recess. The gate includes a first gate portion formed on a surface of the substrate and a second gate portion downwardly extending from the first gate portion and formed in the recess.
