Abstract

A semiconductor device is provided. In a conventional semiconductor device, there has been a problem that, in a region where a wiring layer to which a high electric potential is applied traverses a top surface of an isolation region, the withstand voltage is deteriorated. In a semiconductor device of the present invention, an epitaxial layer is deposited on a substrate, and an LDMOSFET is formed in one region divided by an isolation region. In a region where a wiring layer connected to a drain electrode traverses a top surface of the isolation region, a conductive plate having a ground electric potential and another conductive plate in a floating state are formed under the wiring layer. With this structure, electric field is reduced in the vicinity of the isolation region under the wiring layer, whereby a withstand voltage of the LDMOSFET is increased.

Specifically, with the conduction anode 25 current potential be V1, be V2 with the current potential that puts on the wiring layer 18.In addition, as mentioned above, on conduction anode 24, be applied with earthing potential.At this moment, V1 utilizes following numerical expression to represent with the relation of itself and V2.

As shown in Figure 3, in the structure shown in Fig. 2 (A), solid line represents that distance of separation L1 is the situation of 36 (μ m), and chain-dotted line represents that distance of separation L1 is the situation of 45 (μ m).
Shown in solid line, satisfy following numerical expression, under the situation that has disposed conduction anode 25, the withstand voltage of LDMOSFET is more than 320 (V).
Numerical expression 2
0.3<C2/(C1+C2)<0.6
On the other hand, shown in chain-dotted line, satisfy following numerical expression, under the situation that has disposed conduction anode 25, the withstand voltage of LDMOSFET is more than 320 (V).
Numerical expression 3
0<C2/(C1+C2)<0.6
That is, in the structure shown in Fig. 2 (A), though owing to the size of distance of separation L1 there are differences, configuration conduction anode 25 between conduction anode 24 and wiring layer 18, the current potential V1 that makes conduction anode 25 are 0.3~0.6 times of current potential V2 of wiring layer 18.By this structure, conduction anode 25 relative wiring layers 18 have screen effect.And the wiring layer 18 that is applied with high potential will give the influence mitigation of the Potential distribution of epitaxial loayer 3.On the other hand, the Potential distribution of conduction anode 25 relative epitaxial loayers 3 has a screen effect.And, equipotential line is reduced in an end 28 intensive situations of conduction anode 24, make concentrated mitigation of electric field to an end 28 of conduction anode 24.
Specifically, shown in Fig. 4 (A), be under 0.6 times the situation of current potential V2 of wiring layer 18 at the current potential V1 of conduction anode 25, the zone that equipotential line is intensive is dispersed in an end 27 of conduction anode 25 and an end 28 of conduction anode 24.Final shown in the shadow region of Fig. 4 (B), the epitaxial loayer 3 below an end 28 of conduction anode 24 produces ionization by collision.But, by conducting electricity the pattern arrangement of anode 25, on conduction anode 25, setting desirable current potential, can relax concentrating to the electric field of an end 28 of the conducting screen utmost point 24, improve the voltage endurance of LDMOSFET.
