Abstract

The invention relates to the field of high-voltage integrated circuits, in particular to a method for protecting a shallow trench isolation region. The method for protecting the shallow trench isolation region, provided by the invention, is applied to the process of high-voltage integrated circuits, when high-voltage devices and low-voltage devices are prepared, by preparing nitride as an STI protective layer on the low-voltage device region before growth of the gate oxide for the high-voltage devices, sink defects of STI in follow-up wet processing can be avoided, further the product yield is increased; the process steps are altered less; and the method has the advantage of high compatibility with the conventional technological process, and improvement on the device performance can be achieved easily.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of high-voltage integrated circuits, in particular to a method for protecting shallow trench isolation regions. Background technique [0002] With the reduction of critical dimensions in IC manufacturing, the wafer must be clean before entering the process, which requires repeated cleaning steps to remove pollutants on the wafer surface such as particles, organic matter, metal and natural oxidation. Layers, etc., and the number of cleanings depends on the complexity of the wafer design and the number of interconnected layers. The semiconductor IC industry mainly adopts wet cleaning process for wafer cleaning, such as tank cleaning, spin washing and drying, single chip corrosion cleaning, etc. [0003] At present, in the process of high-voltage integrated circuits, in order to be compatible with low-voltage devices and medium-voltage devices, its process flow is more complicated than that of medium-voltage or low-volt...
