Background technology
In the advanced technologies manufacture process of power or high-voltage semi-conductor integrated circuit (IC) chip, low pressure retrograde well is injected tagma (body) injection that is usually used as high pressure lateral diffusion metal-oxygen-half-court effect device (LDMOS), and the profile of high-voltage LDMOS as shown in Figure 1.Retrograde well is injected and is generally comprised high-octane trap injection and low-energy cut-in voltage adjusting injection.Generally, Implantation be take photoresist as barrier layer, thereby there is the problem of so-called " shadow effect ": because photoresist is soft, cover silicon chip surface and form certain gradient shape, the edge contacting with silicon chip at photoresist, high-octane trap injects and low-energy cut-in voltage regulates injection variant to the penetration capacity of photoresist, the penetration capacity of high energy ion implantation is stronger, the wider width of injecting, and the penetration capacity that low energy is injected a little less than, the width of injection is also narrower.When so retrograde well is injected, there is high low energy injection zone difference (as shown in Figure 2 in high-voltage LDMOS active area, retrograde well low energy injection region 22 is variant with the width in retrograde well high energy ion implantation district 23), i.e. so-called " shadow effect ", therefore the repeatedly Implantation of same injection version graph is had to difference than expection on dosage, cause the drift of LDMOS component characteristic parameter (cut-in voltage), see Fig. 2.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is to provide the low pressure retrograde well method for implanting of a kind of lateral diffusion metal-oxygen-half-court effect device, it usings the barrier layer that hard films is injected as low pressure retrograde well, so-called to eliminate " shadow effect ", avoids the drift of LDMOS component characteristic parameter.
For solving the problems of the technologies described above, the invention provides the low pressure retrograde well method for implanting of a kind of lateral diffusion metal-oxygen-half-court effect device, comprise the steps:
(1) at silicon chip surface, deposit successively bed course film and hard films;

Embodiment
Below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the present invention is further detailed explanation.
The present invention, carrying out low pressure retrograde well while injecting, first forms certain thickness hard films (for example silica, silicon nitride), the hard films figure that photoetching subsequently+etching forms, and usining this hard films injects as barrier layer.Contacting and being into the almost rectangular shaped of 90 ° with silicon chip bed course film due to hard films, there is no gentle slope shape, so do not exist the width difference of high low energy Implantation (even if there is certain gentle slope, also can remove a part of sidewall of mask firmly by isotropic etching improves), therefore can be because of the difference of the ion penetration ability of different-energy, cause the repeatedly Implantation of same injection version graph is had to difference than expection on dosage, thereby avoided the drift of LDMOS component characteristic parameter.
The inventive method adopts hard films to carry out the injection of low pressure retrograde well as low pressure retrograde well implant blocking layer, and its concrete steps comprise as follows:
1. at the silicon chip surface that need to carry out the injection of low pressure retrograde well, deposit successively bed course film 4 and hard films 6.Bed course film 4 is generally the silica that adopts thermal oxidation process to form, and its thickness is right at 100~300 Izods.The general chemical gaseous phase depositing process that adopts of hard films 6 forms, hard films 6 can be silica or silicon nitride (in this embodiment, hard films 6 adopts silicon nitride), its thickness is depending on the kind of kind, energy and the hard films of Implantation: the independent variable using these three amounts as computer device simulation softward, by analog computation, can draw the range (dependent variable) that ion can penetrate in hard films, select to be greater than the hard films thickness of this numerical value.
2. photoresist 7, the exposure of on hard films 6 surfaces, coating approximately 10000~20000 dusts, the figure of low pressure retrograde well injection zone is transferred on photoresist layer 7, sees Fig. 3 A.
3. dry etching is carved and to be opened hard films 6, is parked on bed course film 4, and the side pattern of itself and bed course film Surface Contact should be the right angle that approaches 90 °.Dry etching is carved and to be opened hard films 6 and be parked on bed course film 4, requires its speed of carving hard films 6 and bed course film 4 to have high selectivity, and representative value is 10-50 left and right.Dry etching is carved and is opened hard films 6, the side pattern of itself and bed course film Surface Contact should be the right angle that approaches 90 °, usingd in this barrier layer as Implantation in assurance, can be because of the difference of the ion penetration ability of different-energy, cause the repeatedly Implantation of same injection version graph is had to difference than expection on dosage, thereby avoided the drift of LDMOS component characteristic parameter.
4. peel off photoresist, the figure of low pressure retrograde well injection zone is transferred on hard film layer 6, sees Fig. 3 B.
5. the hard films 6 of take is carried out the repeatedly Implantation of low pressure retrograde well as barrier layer, first carry out high energy trap (being retrograde well high energy ion implantation district 8) and inject (the ion implantation energy >500keV that retrograde well high energy ion implantation district 8 is injected conventionally), after carry out low energy cut-in voltage adjusting (being retrograde well low energy injection region 9) and inject (the ion implantation energy <100keV that retrograde well low energy injection region 9 is injected conventionally), the width that high energy, low energy ion inject no longer includes difference, sees Fig. 3 C; If can not guarantee, the etch topography of hard films 6 approaches the right angle of 90 °, also can be after energetic ion injects, low energy ion increases the sidewall that a step isotropic etching removes a part of hard films 6 and strengthens this beneficial effect (as shown in Figure 3 D before injecting, retrograde well low energy injection region 9 is even greater than retrograde well high energy ion implantation district 8), its required sidewall thickness removing should guarantee can not violate the physical dimension rule of device design.
6. by wet method, peel off hard films 6 and bed course film 4 (for the silicon nitride being commonly used to as hard films, can adopt phosphoric acid solution), complete the ion implantation process of whole low pressure retrograde well, see Fig. 3 E.As shown in Fig. 3 E, adopt the final low pressure retrograde well forming of the inventive method, its retrograde well low energy injection region 9 no longer includes difference with retrograde well high energy ion implantation district 8, therefore can not cause because of the difference of the ion penetration ability of different-energy the repeatedly Implantation that same is injected to version graph than expection, to have difference on dosage, thereby avoid the drift of LDMOS component characteristic parameter.
