Embodiment
Below in conjunction with specific embodiment and accompanying drawing the present invention is described further, but should limit protection scope of the present invention with this.
Fig. 3 is the cross-sectional view that is formed at the self-isolation formula high voltage half-bridge structure in the silicon-on-insulator of one embodiment of the invention.In the present embodiment, be used to make the thickness≤5 μ m of top layer silicon of the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) of device.
As shown in Figure 3, this self-isolation formula high voltage half-bridge structure 300 is formed in the N molded lines property drift region 307,308 on the supporting wafer, supporting wafer and N molded lines property drift region 307, is separated with between between 308 and buries oxide layer 306.This high voltage half-bridge structure 300 can comprise high side power switching tube 301 and low side power switch pipe 302; Wherein high side power switching tube 301 can comprise collector electrode, polysilicon gate, thick grid oxygen, P type tagma and butt joint emitter, and low side power switch pipe 302 can comprise drain electrode, polysilicon gate, thick grid oxygen, P type tagma and source electrode.In the present embodiment; This high side power switching tube 301 can be landscape insulation bar double-pole-type transistor (Lateral Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor; LIGBT); This low side power switch pipe 302 then can for the lateral double diffusion metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (Lateral Double-diffused MOSFET, LDMOS).The output stage of high side power switching tube 301 is connected with the input utmost point of low side power switch pipe 302.In the present embodiment, specifically, the emitter 303 of high side power switching tube 301 is connected with the drain electrode 304 of low side power switch pipe 302, and emitter 303 is drawn the formation output port together with drain electrode 304 then.
Wherein, the P type tagma 305 in the high side power switching tube 301 contacts with the oxide layer 306 of burying of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) lower floor.Because the oxide layer 306 of burying of SOI lower floor is the good insulation performance body, so the P type tagma 305 in the high side power switching tube 301 is just in time spaced apart with N molded lines property drift region 308 in N molded lines property drift region in the high side power switching tube 301 307 and the low side power switch pipe 302.So; At high side and low side power switch pipe 301, just form a kind of self-isolation between 302, so need not as use in the prior art trench fill oxide 203 or other more spacers just can with high side and low side power switch pipe 301,302 between the two insulation gap open.
