Background
DMOS (Double-Diffused MOSFET, Double-Diffused metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor) is widely used in power management chips at present due to its characteristics of high voltage resistance, large current driving capability, and extremely low power consumption.

Fig. 1 shows a cross-sectional structure of a conventional LDMOS device. Taking the LDMOS device as an NLDMOS device as an example, a drift region 102, a P-type body region 103 are arranged in a P-type substrate 101, a field oxide layer 107 is arranged in the drift region 102, a P-type heavily doped region 104 and an N-type heavily doped region 105 are arranged in the P-type body region 103, an N-type heavily doped region 105 is arranged in the drift region 102, and a gate structure of the LDMOS device comprises a gate oxide layer 106, a polysilicon gate 108 and a side wall 109; the P-type heavily doped region 104 and the N-type heavily doped region 105 are led out through corresponding contact holes 113 and connected with a metal layer 114 to form a source electrode of the LDMOS device; the N-type heavily doped region 105 is led out through the corresponding contact hole 113 and connected with the metal layer 114 to form the drain of the LDMOS device.
In the LDMOS device shown in fig. 1, arrow S1 shows the shortest on-current path, and in order to reduce the on-resistance of the LDMOS device, the size of the accumulation region of the device needs to be increased, resulting in a larger chip area occupied by the LDMOS device. The accumulation region is an overlapping region of the field-free oxide layer region in the drift region 102 and the gate structure.
The present embodiment provides an LDMOS device, as shown in fig. 2, which includes a substrate 11, a body region 12 and a drift region 13 located in the substrate 11, an insulating dielectric layer 14, a gate structure, a dielectric isolation layer 15 and a metal layer 16 located on the substrate, and a polysilicon field plate 19.
A first type heavily doped region 17 and a second type heavily doped region 18 are arranged in the body region 12, and the top of the body region 12 and the bottom of the insulating medium layer 14 are on the same horizontal plane.
A second type heavily doped region 18 is disposed in the drift region 13.
The first type heavily doped region 17 and the second type heavily doped region 18 have different doping types, for example, when the substrate is a P-type substrate, the first type heavily doped region is P-type and the second type heavily doped region is N-type, or when the substrate is N-type, the first type heavily doped region is N-type and the second type heavily doped region is P-type.
An insulating dielectric layer 14 is located above the drift region 13 and is surrounded by the drift region 13, the insulating dielectric layer 14 including a step structure.

As can be seen from fig. 2, the channel, the bottom of the insulating dielectric layer, and the silicon interface of the LDMOS device are located on the same horizontal plane, and arrow S2 shows that the shortest on-current path is linear, which shortens the minimum on-current path of the LDMOS device, and is beneficial to shortening the size of the accumulation region of the LDMOS device and reducing the chip area.
In addition, the insulating medium layer comprises a step structure, the polycrystalline silicon field plate is positioned above the step structure of the insulating medium layer, and the polycrystalline silicon field plate is provided with a plurality of field oxide thicknesses, so that the transverse electric field distribution of the LDMOS device is further optimized, and the relationship between the breakdown voltage and the on-resistance is improved.
