Abstract: A high voltage semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof are provided in the present invention. A recess is formed in a semiconductor substrate, and a gate dielectric layer and a main gate structure are formed in the recess. Therefore, the high voltage semiconductor device formed by the manufacturing method of the present invention may include the main gate structure lower than a top surface of an isolation structure formed in the semiconductor substrate. Problems about integrated manufacturing processes of the high voltage semiconductor device and other kinds of semiconductor devices when the gate structure is relatively high because of the thicker gate dielectric layer required in the high voltage semiconductor device may be improved accordingly.

Abstract: A method of forming a gate layout includes providing a gate layout design diagram comprising at least one gate pattern, disposing at least one insulating plug pattern in the gate pattern for producing a modified gate layout in a case where any one of a length and a width of the gate pattern is greater than or equal to a predetermined size, and outputting and manufacturing the modified gate layout onto a photomask. The predetermined size is determined by a process ability limit, and the process ability limit is a smallest gate size causing gate dishing when a chemical mechanical polishing process is performed to a gate.
