[0043] As shown in Figure 7 , a manufacturing method of a drain extension MOS device disclosed by the embodiment of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0044] As shown in Figure 3 , S100, an epitaxial layer 28 is grown on a substrate 29, and the conductivity type of the epitaxial layer 28 is the same as that of the substrate 29.

[0050] In this embodiment, the thickness of the gate 21 oxide layer is preferably in the range of 5nm to 30nm.

[0051] S500, by ion implantation process on the epitaxial layer 28, the well contact region 26, the source region 23, the drain extension region 24 and the drain region 25 are formed, the conductivity type of the well contact region 26 is the same as the well region 27, the conductivity type of the source region 23 is opposite to the conductivity type of the substrate 29, and the conductivity type of the drain extension region 24, the drain region 25 and the source region 23 is the same.
