Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to a semiconductor integrated circuit device, in particular to a radio frequency LDMOS (Laterally Diffused MOS Transistor) device. Background technique [0002] see figure 1 , which is an existing RF LDMOS device. There is a lightly doped p-type epitaxial layer 2 on a heavily doped p-type substrate 1 . In the epitaxial layer 2 there is a p-type body region 3 and an n-type drift region 6, the sides of which may or may not be in contact. The body region 3 has a heavily doped n-type source region 4 and a heavily doped p-type body region lead-out region 5, and the sides of the two are in contact. The body region lead-out region 5 is used to lead the body region 3 out. In the drift region 6 there is a heavily doped n-type drain region 7 . There is a gate oxide layer 8 extending from part of the source region 4 to the drain region 7, and its bottom surface contacts the active region 4, the body region 3, and the epitaxial...
