Definitions
- the present invention relates to integrated circuit (IC) devices, and in particular to a lateral double diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) device and a method for fabricating the same.
- IC integrated circuit
- LDMOS lateral double diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor
- wireless communication products such as mobile phones and base stations have been developed greatly.
- high-voltage elements of lateral double diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) devices are often used as radio frequency (900 MHz-2.4 GHz) related elements therein.
- LDMOS lateral double diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor
- LDMOS devices not only have a higher operation frequency, but they are also capable of sustaining a higher breakdown voltage, thereby having a high output power so that they can be used as power amplifiers in wireless communication products.
- LDMOS devices can be formed by conventional CMOS fabrications, LDMOS devices can be fabricated from a silicon substrate which is relatively cost-effective and employs mature fabrication techniques.
- FIG. 1 a schematic cross section showing a conventional N-type lateral double diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) device applicable in a radio frequency (RF) circuit element is illustrated.
- the N-type LDMOS device mainly comprises a P+ type semiconductor substrate 100 , a P ⁇ type epitaxial semiconductor layer 102 formed over the P+ type semiconductor substrate 100 , and a gate structure G formed over a portion of the P ⁇ type epitaxial semiconductor layer 102 .
- a P ⁇ type doped region 104 is disposed in the P ⁇ type epitaxial semiconductor layer 102 under the gate structure G and a portion of the P ⁇ type epitaxial semiconductor layer 102 under the left side of the gate structure G, and a N ⁇ type drift region 106 is disposed in a portion of the P ⁇ type epitaxial semiconductor layer 102 under the right side of the gate structure G.
- a P+ type doped region 130 and a N+ type doped region 110 are disposed in a portion of the P type doped region 104 , and the P+ doped region 130 partially contacts a portion of the N+ type doped region 110 , thereby functioning as a contact region (e.g. P+ type doped region 130 ) and a source region (e.g.
- N+ type doped region 110 of the N type LDMOS device, respectively, and another N+ type doped region 108 is disposed in a portion of the P ⁇ type epitaxial semiconductor layer 102 at the right side of the N ⁇ type drift region 106 to function as a drain region of the N type LDMOS device.
- an insulating layer 112 is formed over the gate structure G, covering sidewalls and a top surface of the gate structure G and partially covering the N+ type doped regions 108 and 110 adjacent to the gate structure G.
- the N type LDMOS further comprises a P+ type doped region substantially disposed in a portion of the P ⁇ type epitaxial semiconductor layer 102 under the N+ type doped region 110 and the P ⁇ type doped region 104 under the N+ type doped region 110 .
- the P+ type doped region 120 physically connects the P ⁇ type doped region 104 with the P+ type semiconductor substrate 100 .
- formation of the P+ type doped region 120 needs to perform ion implantations of high doping concentrations and high doping energies and thermal diffusion processes with a relatively high temperature above about 900° C., and a predetermined distance D1 is kept between the gate structure G and the N+ type doped region 110 at the left side of the gate structure G to ensure good performance of the N type LDMOS device. Therefore, formation of the P+ type doped region 120 and the predetermined distance D1 kept between the gate structure G and the N+ type doped region 110 increase the on-state resistance (Ron) of the N type LDMOS device and a dimension of the N type LDMOS device, which is unfavorable for further reduction of both the fabrication cost and the dimensions of the N type LDMOS device.

Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to integrated circuit (IC) devices, and in particular to a lateral double diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) device and a method for fabricating the same.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Recently, due to the rapid development of communication devices such as mobile communication devices and personal communication devices, wireless communication products such as mobile phones and base stations have been developed greatly. In wireless communication products, high-voltage elements of lateral double diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) devices are often used as radio frequency (900 MHz-2.4 GHz) related elements therein.
- LDMOS devices not only have a higher operation frequency, but they are also capable of sustaining a higher breakdown voltage, thereby having a high output power so that they can be used as power amplifiers in wireless communication products. In addition, due to the fact that LDMOS devices can be formed by conventional CMOS fabrications, LDMOS devices can be fabricated from a silicon substrate which is relatively cost-effective and employs mature fabrication techniques.
- In
FIG. 1 , a schematic cross section showing a conventional N-type lateral double diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) device applicable in a radio frequency (RF) circuit element is illustrated. As shown inFIG. 1 , the N-type LDMOS device mainly comprises a P+type semiconductor substrate 100, a P− typeepitaxial semiconductor layer 102 formed over the P+type semiconductor substrate 100, and a gate structure G formed over a portion of the P− typeepitaxial semiconductor layer 102. A P− type dopedregion 104 is disposed in the P− typeepitaxial semiconductor layer 102 under the gate structure G and a portion of the P− typeepitaxial semiconductor layer 102 under the left side of the gate structure G, and a N−type drift region 106 is disposed in a portion of the P− typeepitaxial semiconductor layer 102 under the right side of the gate structure G. A P+ type dopedregion 130 and a N+ type dopedregion 110 are disposed in a portion of the P type dopedregion 104, and the P+ dopedregion 130 partially contacts a portion of the N+ type dopedregion 110, thereby functioning as a contact region (e.g. P+ type doped region 130) and a source region (e.g. N+ type doped region 110) of the N type LDMOS device, respectively, and another N+ type dopedregion 108 is disposed in a portion of the P− typeepitaxial semiconductor layer 102 at the right side of the N−type drift region 106 to function as a drain region of the N type LDMOS device. In addition, aninsulating layer 112 is formed over the gate structure G, covering sidewalls and a top surface of the gate structure G and partially covering the N+ type dopedregions epitaxial semiconductor layer 102 under the N+ type dopedregion 110 and the P− type dopedregion 104 under the N+ type dopedregion 110. The P+ type dopedregion 120 physically connects the P− type dopedregion 104 with the P+type semiconductor substrate 100. - During operation of the N type LDMOS device shown in
FIG. 1 , due to the formation of the P+ type dopedregion 120, currents (not shown) from the drain side (e.g. N+ type doped region 108) laterally flow through a channel (not shown) underlying the gate structure G towards a source side (e.g. N+ type doped region 110), and are then guided by the P− type dopedregion 104 and the P+ type dopedregion 120, thereby arriving the P+type semiconductor substrate 100, such that problems such as inductor coupling and cross-talk between adjacent circuit elements can be avoided. However, formation of the P+ type dopedregion 120 needs to perform ion implantations of high doping concentrations and high doping energies and thermal diffusion processes with a relatively high temperature above about 900° C., and a predetermined distance D1 is kept between the gate structure G and the N+ type dopedregion 110 at the left side of the gate structure G to ensure good performance of the N type LDMOS device. Therefore, formation of the P+ type dopedregion 120 and the predetermined distance D1 kept between the gate structure G and the N+ type dopedregion 110 increase the on-state resistance (Ron) of the N type LDMOS device and a dimension of the N type LDMOS device, which is unfavorable for further reduction of both the fabrication cost and the dimensions of the N type LDMOS device. - Accordingly, an improved lateral double diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) device and method for fabricating the same are provided to reduce size and fabrication cost.
- An exemplary lateral double diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) device comprises: a semiconductor substrate, having opposite first and second surfaces and a first conductivity type; a well region formed in a portion of the semiconductor substrate adjacent to the first surface thereof, having the first conductivity type; a gate structure disposed over a portion of the first surface of the semiconductor substrate; a first doped region disposed in a portion of the well region adjacent to a first side of the gate structure, having the first conductivity type; a second doped region disposed in a portion of the well region adjacent to a second side of the gate structure opposite to the first side, having a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type; a third doped region disposed in a portion of the first doped region, having the second conductivity type; a fourth doped region disposed in a portion of the second doped region, having the second conductivity type; a first trench formed in a portion of the third doped region, the first doped region, the well region, and the semiconductor substrate; a conductive contact formed in the first trench; a second trench formed in a portion of the semiconductor substrate adjacent to the second surface thereof, wherein the second trench exposes a portion of the conductive contact; a first conductive layer formed in second trench, contacting the conductive contact; and a second conductive layer formed over the second surface of the semiconductor substrate and the first conductive layer.
- An exemplary method for fabricating a lateral double diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) device comprises: performing a semiconductor substrate, having opposite first and second surfaces and a first conductivity type; performing an ion implantation process, forming a well region in a portion of the semiconductor substrate adjacent to the first surface thereof, having the first conductivity type; forming a gate structure over a portion of the well region; forming a first doped region in a portion of the well region adjacent to a first side of the gate structure, having the first conductivity type; forming a second doped region in a portion of the well region at a second side of the gate structure opposite to the first side, having a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type; forming a third doped region in a portion of the first doped region, having the second conductivity type; forming a fourth doped region in a portion of the second doped region, having the second conductivity type; forming a trench in a portion of the third doping region, the first doped region, the well region, and the semiconductor substrate; forming a conductive contact in the first trench; thinning the semiconductor substrate from the second surface thereof; after thinning the semiconductor substrate, forming a second trench in a portion of the semiconductor substrate adjacent to the second surface thereof, exposing a portion of the conductive contact; forming a first conductive layer in the second trench; and forming a second conductive layer over the second surface of the semiconductor substrate and the first conductive layer.
