Embodiment
Being example with a n type LDMOS below describes the structure of LDMOS device of the present invention.
See also Fig. 3, n type LDMOS of the present invention comprises p type substrate 10, p type epitaxial loayer 11 and n trap 12 from bottom to top respectively.The thickness of n trap 12 is generally 4~5 μ m, is also referred to as " dark n trap " sometimes.Have groove 13, p trap 16 and n type heavy doping drain region 22 in the n trap 12, p trap 16 and n type heavy doping drain region 22 do not coincide in the both sides of groove 13 and all respectively (promptly all with groove 13 at a distance of certain distance) with groove 13.The sidewall of groove 13 and bottom have cushion oxide layer 14, are filled with shallow groove isolation structure 15 (normally dielectric materials such as silica, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride) in the groove 13.Sidewall and place, bottom near groove 13 in the n trap 12 have n type light doping section 30, and the doping content of n type light doping section 30 is less than the doping content of n trap 12.P trap 16 for example is " a low pressure p trap ", and the thickness of p trap 16 has n type heavy doping source region 21 and n type light doping section 19 less than the thickness of n trap 12 in the p trap 16, and the doping content in n type heavy doping source region 21 is greater than the doping content of n type light doping section 19.The doping content in n type heavy doping drain region 22 is greater than the doping content of n trap 12.Be respectively gate oxide 17 and polysilicon gate 18 on the n trap 12, a side of polysilicon gate 18 is above shallow groove isolation structure 15, and opposite side is above p trap 16.The both sides of polysilicon gate 18 have side wall 20a, and the top of polysilicon gate 18 has medium 20b, and side wall 20a and medium 20b are generally dielectric materials such as silica, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride.
N type LDMOS is compared to p type LDMOS, and the influence that is subjected to hot carrier injection effect is more obvious.The structure of LDMOS of the present invention is equally applicable to p type LDMOS, and just the doping type of each several part is opposite with n type LDMOS.
See also Fig. 5, this is the ion distribution figure of the n type impurity of that dotted line A in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 dissects, traditional LDMOS and LDMOS of the present invention.Dotted line is represented traditional LDMOS among the figure, and solid line is represented LDMOS of the present invention.Obviously LDMOS of the present invention has lower n type foreign ion distribution in certain position of Y-axis coordinate, and this expression LDMOS of the present invention has formed the lower n type light doping section 30 of doping content in this position.

See also Fig. 7, this is the raceway groove horizontal component of electric field distribution map of that dotted line C in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 dissects, traditional LDMOS and LDMOS of the present invention.Dotted line is represented traditional LDMOS among the figure, and solid line is represented LDMOS of the present invention.Obviously the raceway groove place of LDMOS of the present invention below gate oxide 17 has lower horizontal direction (laterally) Electric Field Distribution, and fall is not very big, and this also is that light doping section 30 brings.
From Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7 as can be known, because LDMOS device of the present invention has increased light doping section 30, the drift region of LDMOS device is made of jointly trap 12 and light doping section 30 like this.The light doping section 30 that doping content is lower can significantly reduce the Electric Field Distribution of raceway groove in vertical direction, and suitably reduces raceway groove Electric Field Distribution in the horizontal direction, thereby improves the adverse effect that hot carrier injection effect brings the LDMOS device.
The manufacture method of LDMOS of the present invention comprises the steps, is example with n type LDMOS:
In the 1st step, see also Fig. 2 a, epitaxial growth one deck p type epitaxial loayer 11 on p type substrate 10.The ion that carries out n type impurity again in p type epitaxial loayer 11 injects, and n type impurity is generally phosphorus, arsenic, antimony etc., forms n trap 12 on the top (near the upper surface place) of p type epitaxial loayer 11.The degree of depth of n trap 12 for example is 4~5 μ m after the annealed technology.
The 2nd step saw also Fig. 4 a, went out a groove 13 in n trap 12 surface etch, for example adopted shallow-trench isolation (STI) technology.The ion that p type impurity is carried out in the sidewall and the bottom of groove 13 injects, and p type impurity is generally boron etc., at the sidewall and place, the bottom formation n type light doping section 30 of close the groove 13 of n trap 12.The sidewall of groove 13 and bottom are being carried out ion when injecting, can be on the barrier layer of media such as the part deposit capping oxidation silicon of silicon chip surface except that groove 13, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride as the ion injection.Owing in n trap 12, inject the n type light doping section 30 that p type ion forms, so the doping content of n type light doping section 30 is less than the doping content of n trap 12.
Follow sidewall and bottom oxidation growth or deposit one deck cushion oxide layer 14 at groove 13, again silicon chip surface deposit (for example being HDPCVD technology) one deck medium (for example being silica, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride etc.), this layer medium to major general's groove 13 is filled full, again with the medium milling (for example being CMP technology) of institute's deposit to trap 12 upper surface flush, in groove 13, formed shallow groove isolation structure 15 this moment.
Carry out p type ion and inject form p trap 16 in n trap 12, p trap 16 does not overlap (promptly apart certain distance) in a side of shallow groove isolation structure 15 and both.
The 3rd step saw also Fig. 4 b, at silicon chip surface growth one deck silica, and deposit one deck polysilicon on silica, thus this layer of etching polysilicon and silica form polysilicon gate 18 and gate oxide 17.One side of polysilicon gate 18 is on shallow groove isolation structure 15, and opposite side is on p trap 16.Then the lightly doped drain that carries out n type impurity near a side of p trap 16 at polysilicon gate 18 injects, thereby forms n type light doping section 19 in p trap 16.At silicon chip surface deposit one deck medium, this layer medium is higher than the upper surface of polysilicon gate 18.Anti-carve this layer medium, form side wall 20a, above polysilicon gate 18, form medium 20b simultaneously in the both sides of polysilicon gate 18.Side wall 20a and medium 20b are connected as a single entity, and are generally dielectric materials such as silica, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride.The side of side wall 20a is on shallow groove isolation structure 15 at this moment, and opposite side is on p trap 16.
The 4th step saw also Fig. 3, and the heavy-doped source that carries out n type impurity near a side of p trap 16 at side wall 20a injects, thereby formed n type heavy doping source region 21 in p trap 16, and the doping content in n type heavy doping source region 21 is greater than the doping content of n type light doping section 19.Leak injection in the heavy doping that shallow groove isolation structure 15 carries out n type impurity away from a side of p trap 16, thereby form the n type heavy doping drain region 22 higher than the doping content of n trap 12 in n trap 12, n type heavy doping drain region 22 does not overlap (promptly at a distance of certain distance) with shallow groove isolation structure 15.
The manufacture method of said n type LDMOS is equally applicable to make p type LDMOS of the present invention, and just the doping type of the dopant type of each step ion injection, each several part structure is opposite with n type LDMOS.
Said method carries out the ion injection to the sidewall and the bottom of groove 13 in the 2nd step, can be boron (B) atom or boron oxide (BF
2+) ion.
Said method carries out the ion injection to the sidewall and the bottom of groove 13 in the 2nd step, and dosage for example is 1 * 10
11~1 * 10
12Atom per square centimeter (or ion every square centimeter), energy for example is 10~20keV.
In sum, the present invention forms light doping section by trenched side-wall and the bottom at LDMOS, reduced the electric field of groove in vertical and horizontal direction, thus the adverse effect that less hot carrier injection effect brings LDMOS, safety operation area and the reliability of raising LDMOS.
