Provided is a high voltage transistor in a flash memory device comprising:
a source/drain junction of a DDD structure consisting of a high-concentration impurity
region and a low-concentration impurity region surrounding the high-concentration
impurity region, the high-concentration impurity region being formed in parallel
with a gate electrode at a distance spaced by a location in which a contact hole
is formed, and having a rectangular shape whose width is the same as or wider than
that of the contact hole and whose length is the same as or narrower than that
of an active region through which the gate electrode passes. Accordingly, a current
density to pass the gate electrode neighboring the contact hole portion and a current
density to pass the gate electrode at a portion where the contact hole cannot be
formed become uniform. A uniform and constant saturation current can be obtained
regardless of the number of the contact hole.
