A method and structure providing a high-voltage transistor (HVT) including a gate dielectric, where at least part of the gate dielectric is provided within a trench disposed within a substrate. In some aspects, a gate oxide thickness may be controlled by way of a trench depth. By providing the HVT with a gate dielectric formed within a trench, embodiments of the present disclosure provide for the top gate stack surface of the HVT and the top gate stack surface of a low-voltage transistor (LVT), formed on the same substrate, to be substantially co-planar with each other, while providing a thick gate oxide for the HVTs. Further, because the top gate stack surface of HVT and the top gate stack surface of the LVT are substantially co-planar with each other, over polishing of the HVT gate stack can be avoided. 1. A method of fabricating a semiconductor device , comprising:forming a gate dielectric trench within a substrate;depositing a first dielectric layer within the gate dielectric trench, wherein a top surface of the first dielectric layer is co-planar with a top surface of the substrate;forming a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer; andforming a metal gate over the second dielectric layer.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the forming the gate dielectric trench further includes etching the gate dielectric trench to a first depth claim 1 , and wherein the first depth is measured from a plane parallel to the top surface of the substrate to a bottom surface of the gate dielectric trench.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the forming the gate dielectric trench further includes forming the gate dielectric trench having a first width along the plane parallel to the top surface of the substrate claim 1 , and forming the gate dielectric trench having a second width along a plane parallel to the bottom surface of the gate dielectric trench.4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the second width is less than the first width.5. The method of claim 1 , further ...
