A high withstand voltage transistor and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The transistor includes a semiconductor substrate, a field oxide film, a channel region formed of first and second channel regions each having a different concentration level, a gate insulating film having a step difference, a gate electrode having a step difference, a drain region including first, second, and third impurity regions, a source region including first and third impurity regions, a spacer, an interlayer dielectric film and a metal electrode. Threshold voltage can be maintained to an appropriate level, junction break voltage can be increased, and the punchthrough characteristic can also be enhanced. |
