Embodiment
Refer to Fig. 3 i, this is the embodiment one of the radio frequency LDMOS device described in the application.For N-shaped radio frequency LDMOS device, the bottom silicon 1 stacked gradually from bottom to top, insulating barrier 100 and top layer silicon 2 constitute silicon-on-insulator (SOI, silicon on insulator), wherein the doping content of bottom silicon 1 is greater than the doping content of top layer silicon 2.Bottom silicon 1 can be identical doping type with top layer silicon 2, may also be different doping type.Bottom silicon 1 is such as attached most importance to doped silicon substrate, and insulating barrier 100 is such as silica, and top layer silicon 2 is low-doped silicon substrate or epitaxial loayer in being such as.There is the N-shaped heavy doping source region 8 of contacts side surfaces successively, p-type channel doping district 7 and N-shaped drift region 3 in top layer silicon 2.There is N-shaped heavy doping drain region 9 in drift region 3.There is successively gate oxide 4 and polysilicon gate 5 on channel doping district 7 and drift region 3.There is directly over polysilicon gate 5 and directly over part drift region 3 one piece of silica 10 continuously.There is continuous print one piece of grid masking layer (G-shield) 11 above part or all of silica 10.Grid masking layer 11 at least to be separated by silica 10 and part drift region 3 above.Sink structures 12 penetrates source region 8, top layer silicon 2, insulating barrier 100 downwards from surface, source region 8, and arrives among bottom silicon 1.Metal silicide is formed on source region 8 and sink structures 12, polysilicon gate 5, grid masking layer 11 and drain region 9.Or source region 8 and sink structures 12 also can be drawn from silicon chip back side with metal silicide.
Refer to Fig. 3 j, this is the embodiment two of the radio frequency LDMOS device described in the application.The difference of itself and embodiment one is only: sink structures 12 penetrates source region 8, top layer silicon 2 downwards from surface, source region 8, and among the upper surface arriving at insulating barrier 100 or insulating barrier 100.Source region 8 and sink structures 12 can only be drawn from front side of silicon wafer with metal silicide.
