In the invention, because the opening width of the first groove is smaller than the opening width of the second groove, when the insulating medium is deposited in the groove, the thickness of the insulating medium deposited at the bottom of the first groove is larger than that of the insulating medium deposited at the bottom of the second groove, when the bottom of the groove is etched, the insulating medium deposited at the bottom of the second groove is etched to expose the substrate by controlling the etching time, and the insulating medium deposited at the bottom of the first groove is thicker and is not etched through in the same etching time; after further filling the polysilicon, a first deep trench isolation structure and a second deep trench isolation structure with different structures are formed on the same semiconductor structure.
The unexpected technical effects of the application are as follows: controlling the opening width of the first groove to be smaller than that of the second groove, so that the depth of the second groove is larger than that of the first groove under the same etching process; in the application, the side wall angle of the first groove is controlled to be equal to the side wall angle of the second groove, so that when the insulating medium is deposited at the same time, the insulating medium deposited at the bottom of the first groove with the narrower bottom is thicker, and in the subsequent unified etching process, the insulating medium deposited at the bottom of the second groove is etched to expose the substrate, and the insulating medium deposited at the bottom of the first groove is thicker and is not etched through in the same etching time.

The unexpected technical effects of the application are: the application provides a semiconductor structure and a preparation method thereof, wherein a first deep trench isolation structure and a second deep trench isolation structure with different structures are formed on the same semiconductor structure; the first deep trench isolation structure and the second deep trench isolation structure have different trench depths; when grooves with different depths are formed, the first grooves and the second grooves with different depths can be prepared under one process by controlling the critical dimension of the first grooves to be smaller than that of the second grooves, so that the process is simplified, and the time and the cost are saved. In the application, because the opening width of the first groove is smaller than the opening width of the second groove, when the insulating medium is deposited in the groove, the thickness of the insulating medium deposited at the bottom of the first groove is larger than that of the insulating medium deposited at the bottom of the second groove, when the bottom of the groove is etched, the insulating medium deposited at the bottom of the second groove is etched to expose the substrate by controlling the etching time, and the insulating medium deposited at the bottom of the first groove is thicker and is not etched through in the same etching time; after further filling the polysilicon, a first deep trench isolation structure and a second deep trench isolation structure with different structures are formed on the same semiconductor structure.
The unexpected technical effects of the application are as follows: controlling the opening width of the first groove to be smaller than that of the second groove, so that the depth of the second groove is larger than that of the first groove under the same etching process; in the application, the side wall angle of the first groove is controlled to be equal to the side wall angle of the second groove, so that when the insulating medium is deposited at the same time, the insulating medium deposited at the bottom of the first groove with the narrower bottom is thicker, and in the subsequent unified etching process, the insulating medium deposited at the bottom of the second groove is etched to expose the substrate, and the insulating medium deposited at the bottom of the first groove is thicker and is not etched through in the same etching time.

The unexpected technical effects of the application are as follows: the interval between the first groove and the second groove is 2-2.5 micrometers; leakage current of the central high-voltage device can be rapidly discharged.
The unexpected technical effects of the application are as follows: polysilicon is also deposited in the center of the first deep trench isolation structure, which can provide good stress dissipation.
The unexpected technical effects of the application are as follows: the two DTI structures are arranged to be a reverse-square structure to alternately wrap the HV device, and the inner ring is insulated, so that the difficulty of passing carriers through the drift region is increased, and the breakdown voltage is improved. The outer ring is conductive, so that the carrier with the upper part accelerated transversely can be prevented from escaping, and the electric leakage accumulated to the substrate by longitudinal acceleration can be led out; therefore, the breakdown voltage and the reliability are improved on the premise of not changing the effective structure of the HV device.
The unexpected technical effects of the application are as follows: by utilizing the different opening widths of the first groove and the second groove, a first insulating medium layer can be formed on the side wall of the first groove by utilizing a one-time deposition process, a second insulating medium layer is formed on the side wall of the second groove, and meanwhile, the thickness of the insulating medium deposited at the bottom of the first groove is larger than that of the insulating medium deposited at the bottom of the second groove; when the subsequent bottom etching is performed, the insulating medium at the bottom of the second groove can be etched through to expose the substrate, and the insulating medium at the bottom of the first groove is not etched through under the same etching time; therefore, different DTI structures can be formed on the same chip, so that the two structures act cooperatively to play a better role in isolation.
The unexpected technical effects of the application are as follows: the depth of the CD 1.5um DTI tree is shallower to be an isolated DTI, the depth of the CD 2.5um DTI tree reaches 40um to be a conducting wire led out by deep leakage, and the wiring type penetrating structure can meet the requirements of high voltage resistance and low interference required by the ultra-high voltage PIMC device on the premise of not changing the effective structure of the high voltage device.
