The 2nd step, silicon chip form gate oxide and on polysilicon gate, gate oxide is across the line of demarcation of doped region and drift region;
In the 3rd step, form side wall in the both sides of gate oxide and polysilicon gate;
Form the heavy doping source of the second conduction type in the centre position of doped region, between heavy doping source and the drift region and the part doped region of adjacent gate oxide be exactly the raceway groove of LDMOS device;
Form the heavy doping drain terminal of the second conduction type away from that end of gate oxide in the drift region;
In doped region, form the heavy doping raceway groove exit of the first conduction type away from that end of gate oxide;
The 4th step, at silicon chip surface deposit one deck dielectric layer, then adopt photoetching process to expose the extension window in described drift region near the side wall place, and in this extension window, grow the extension drift region of the second conduction type with extension and in-situ doped technique, remove at last dielectric layer;

Being close to side wall 15 in p-type doped region 11 adopts ion implantation technology to form N-shaped heavy doping source 19.Because stopping of side wall 15, N-shaped heavy doping source 19 is positioned at the centre position of p-type doped region 11 after annealing process, one end of gate oxide 13 is positioned on the N-shaped heavy doping source 19, and the part p-type doped region 11 between N-shaped heavy doping source 19 and the N-shaped drift region 12 and under gate oxide 13 is exactly the raceway groove of LDMOS device.
That end away from gate oxide 13 in N-shaped drift region 12 adopts ion implantation technology to form N-shaped heavy doping drain terminal 20.
That end away from gate oxide 13 in p-type doped region 11 adopts ion implantation technology to form p-type heavy doping raceway groove exit 21.
The 4a step sees also Fig. 4 d, and dielectric layer deposited 16 on whole silicon chip, such as silica, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride etc.Then adopt photoetching process on N-shaped drift region 12 near the position of side wall 15 (can be close to side wall 15, also can and side wall 15 between have a less segment distance) expose an extension window.Then in this extension window, adopt epitaxy technique to grow extension drift region 80.Remove at last dielectric layer 16, for example adopt wet corrosion technique.Has a larger segment distance between this extension drift region 80 and the N-shaped heavy doping drain terminal 20.
If want the N-shaped LDMOS device of the non-channel isolation type shown in the shop drawings 3a, the 4th step of said method changes into so:

In the 4b step, see also Fig. 4 e, deposit second medium layer 17 on whole silicon chip, such as silica, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride etc.Then adopt photoetching process on N-shaped drift region 12 near the position of the first extension drift region 81 (can be close to the first extension drift region 81, also can and the first extension drift region 81 between have a less segment distance) expose an extension window.Then in this extension window, adopt epitaxy technique to grow the second extension drift region 82.Remove at last second medium layer 17, for example adopt wet corrosion technique.Has a larger segment distance between this second extension drift region 82 and the N-shaped heavy doping drain terminal 20.
In the 4c step, see also Fig. 4 f, deposit the 3rd dielectric layer 18 on whole silicon chip, such as silica, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride etc.Then adopt photoetching process on N-shaped drift region 12 near the position of the second extension drift region 82 (can be close to the second extension drift region 82, also can and the second extension drift region 82 between have a less segment distance) expose an extension window.Then in this extension window, adopt epitaxy technique to grow the 3rd extension drift region 83.Remove at last the 3rd dielectric layer 18, for example adopt wet corrosion technique.Has a larger segment distance between the 3rd extension drift region 83 and the N-shaped heavy doping drain terminal 20.
Above-mentioned 4a to the 4c step, it can do corresponding increase and decrease according to the composing quantity difference of epitaxial loayer in order to form an example of the extension drift region that is comprised of three parts.
After the Implantation in described the 1st step of method, the 3rd step annealing process is arranged.The 1st step was preferably the high temperature furnace annealing process, and the 3rd step was preferably rapid thermal annealing (RTA) technique.
Described the 4th step (or 4a to 4c goes on foot) of method also can be put into before the 3rd step or intert and carry out between the 3rd step.If when forming the extension drift region, do not have side wall 15 as reference, then need guarantee this extension drift region apart from raceway groove one segment distance, so that make gate oxide cross over the line of demarcation of raceway groove and drift region.
The 1st step of said method is changed into: in p-type substrate (or epitaxial loayer) 10, adopt first ion implantation technology to form n trap 90(shown in Fig. 3 b), should will adopt ion implantation technology to form laterally adjacent N-shaped doped region 11 ' and p-type drift region 12 ' in the n trap 90 again.Each step is identical later on, but each several part doping type and Implantation type opposite then are the manufacture methods of the application's p-type LDMOS device.
