A high-voltage semiconductor MOS process that is fully compatible with
low-voltage MOS process is provided. The high-voltage N/P well are
implanted into the substrate prior to the definition of active areas. The
channel stop doping regions are formed after the formation of field oxide
layers, thus avoiding lateral diffusion of the channel stop doping
regions. In addition, the grade drive-in process used to activate the
grade doping regions in the high-voltage device area and the gate oxide
growth of the high-voltage devices are performed simultaneously.
