Therefore, no additional mask and photolithography steps are required to form the PN structure, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost. Further, when forming the PN structure, a part of the dopant of the second doping type in the first doping region is compounded with the dopant of the first doping type, and the equivalent dopant of the first doping region is maintained as the second doping type. Therefore, when forming the PN structure of the diode, no additional mask and photolithography steps are required, and compared with conventional practices, the number of photolithography steps is reduced, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0073] Figure 2 A schematic diagram showing a process flow of a semiconductor structure manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. FIG. 3A to FIG. 3H The schematic diagram shows the structure of each specific step in the semiconductor device manufacturing process.
[0074] In this embodiment, Figure 1 The manufacturing steps of the semiconductor device provided in are used as an example for explanation.
[0075] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device provided comprises the following steps:
[0076] In step S10, at least one well region of the second doping type is formed in the first region and the second region of the substrate respectively. Figure 3A As shown, two N-type high-voltage second well regions 120 and a seventh well region 140 are formed in parallel in the first region 111 of the substrate 100, and an N-type high-voltage third well region 150 is formed in the second region 112 adjacent to the first region 111. The first region 111 is a low-voltage device region, and the second region 112 is a high-voltage device region, and the formed multiple N-type well regions are distributed in parallel.
[0077] In step S20, at least one well region of the first doping type is formed in the first region and the second region of the substrate respectively. Figure 3B As shown, in Figure 3A In terms of structure, a P-type low-voltage first well region 110 and a sixth well region 130 arranged in parallel are formed in the first region 111 of the substrate 100, and a P-type low-voltage fifth well region 170 arranged in parallel with the third well region 150 and a P-type low-voltage fourth well region 160 located in the third well region 150 near the first boundary are formed in the second region 112 of the substrate.
[0078] In step S30, an isolation structure extending downward from the substrate surface is formed between adjacent well regions and in the well regions. Figure 3CAs shown, a field oxide region 200 extending downward from the upper surface of the substrate 100 is formed between adjacent well regions by local oxidation of silicon (LOCOS) isolation or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and other methods to achieve isolation of adjacent well regions. Further, an oxide layer is grown using the active region as a hard mask to form the field oxide region 200. In other embodiments, a trench is formed between adjacent well regions as an isolation structure to achieve isolation, wherein the depth of the trench is, for example, related to the depth of the adjacent well region or doping region. The active region is then removed.
[0079] In step S40, gate stacks and field plates are formed on corresponding well regions. Figure 3DAs shown, a first gate stack and a second gate stack are formed above the first well region 110 and the second well region 120, respectively, a fourth gate stack as a field plate is formed above the field oxygen region 200 on the third well region 150, and a third gate stack is formed above the field oxygen region 200 on the third well region 150 and extends to the third well region 150 and part of the fourth well region 160, the portion of the third gate stack located above the field oxygen region 200 is used as a field plate, and the portion of the third gate stack located above the third well region and the fourth well region is used to form a device channel. Further, the impurities and the oxide layer formed by the substrate 100 exposed to the air are cleaned, and the substrate 100 is placed in an oxidation furnace to grow and form a silicon dioxide layer. After that, the substrate 100 is placed in a low-pressure CVD device with silane, and the silane is decomposed to deposit a layer of polysilicon on the surface of the gate dielectric 310. The polysilicon is imprinted in the photolithography area using deep ultraviolet lithography technology. Afterwards, a silicon dioxide layer is deposited, and the deposited silicon dioxide is etched using an anisotropic plasma etcher to obtain a first gate stack including a gate dielectric 310 and a gate conductor 320 located above the first well region 110, a second gate stack including a gate dielectric 310 and a gate conductor 320 located above the second well region 120, a fourth gate stack including a gate dielectric 310 and a gate conductor 320 located on the field oxide region on the third well region 150, and a third gate stack including a gate dielectric 310 and a gate conductor 320 located on the fourth well region 160, the third well region 150, and a partial surface of the field oxide region. Afterwards, gate spacers 330 are formed at the sidewalls of both ends of the first to fourth gate stacks, respectively. The polysilicon of the gate conductor 320 may be P-type doped or N-type doped. In other embodiments, the polysilicon of the gate conductor is doped with the second doping type during the process of forming the first source region and the first drain region and the third source region and the third drain region, and in this embodiment, the equivalent doping type of the gate conductor in the semiconductor device is consistent with the initial doping type of the gate conductor. In other embodiments, the polysilicon of the gate conductor may be doped with the first doping type during the process of forming the second source region and the second drain region, so that the equivalent doping type of the gate conductor in the semiconductor device is consistent with the initial doping type of the gate conductor.
[0080] In step S50, a first source region and a first drain region of a second doping type, a first doping region, a third source region, and a third drain region are formed in the first well region, the substrate, and the third well region. Figure 3EAs shown, a photoresist mask is used to shield the second well region 120, the sixth well region 130, the seventh well region 140, the fifth well region 170 and part of the fourth well region 160 in the substrate 100, and the first gate stack, the third gate stack, the fourth gate stack and the field oxygen region 200 are used as hard masks to implant a dopant of the second doping type to form a first source region 711 and a first drain region 712 of the second doping type in the first well region 110, a third source region 752 and a third drain region 751 of the second doping type in the third well region 150 and the fourth well region 160, and a first doping region 731 of the second doping type is formed in the region near the sixth well region 130 in the substrate 100. The implantation energy, doping amount and implantation angle of the dopant to form the second doping type doping region can also be selected according to the requirements of the semiconductor device for voltage resistance, size, current, etc. The photoresist mask is then removed.
[0081] In step S60, a second source region and a second drain region of the first doping type, second to fourth doping regions, a second channel region, and a first channel region are formed in the second well region and the fourth to seventh well regions, respectively. Figure 3FAs shown, the field oxygen region 200 is used as a hard mask, and a first doping type dopant is implanted by blanket implantation to form a first doping type second source region 721 and a first drain region 722 in the second well region 120, respectively, a first doping type first channel region 753 and a second channel region 754 are formed in the fourth well region 160 and the fifth well region 170, respectively, a first doping type second doping region 732 is formed in the sixth well region 130 extending outward to contact the first doping region 731 to form a PN structure in the diode 103, a first doping type fourth doping region 733 is formed in the sixth well region 130, and a first doping type third doping region 741 is formed in the seventh well region 140 to form a body resistance structure in the resistor 104, and the resistance range of the resistor 104 is 300 to 2000Ω. The doping dose of the N-type dopant injected in step S50 is higher than the doping dose of the first doping type dopant, so that the first source region and the first drain region, as well as the third source region and the third drain region form ohmic contacts. Further, in step S60, the dopant of the first doping type injected into the first source region 711 and the first drain region 712 in the first well region 110 is combined with part of the dopant of the second doping type in the first source region 711 and the first drain region 712, and the equivalent dopant of the first source region 711 and the first drain region 712 obtained in this step is maintained as the second doping type, that is, the dopant of the second doping type in the first source region 711 and the first drain region 712 includes the dopant of the first doping type. In step S60, the dopant of the first doping type injected into the third drain region 751 in the third well region 150 and the third source region 752 in the fourth well region 160 is recombined with part of the dopant of the second doping type in the third source region 752 and the third drain region 751, and the equivalent dopant of the third source region 752 and the third drain region 751 obtained in this step is maintained as the second doping type, that is, the dopant of the second doping type in the third source region 752 and the third drain region 751 includes the dopant of the first doping type. In step S60, the dopant of the first doping type injected into the first doping region 731 in the substrate 100 is recombined with part of the dopant of the second doping type in the first doping region 731, and the equivalent dopant of the first doping region 731 obtained in this step is maintained as the second doping type. Therefore, the manufacturing method does not affect the performance of the semiconductor device, so it is not necessary to use a photoresist mask to block to form the doping region of the first doping type in this step.
[0082] In step S70, a plurality of channel holes penetrating the interlayer dielectric layer are formed above the gate stack and the field plate region. Figure 3G As shown, in Figure 3FAn interlayer dielectric layer 810 is deposited above the structure shown, and a channel hole 811 is formed through the interlayer dielectric layer 810 to reach the first source region 711, the first drain region 712, the gate conductor 320 of the first gate stack, the second source region 721, the second drain region 722, the gate conductor 320 of the second gate stack, the first doped region 731, the fourth doped region 733, the third drain region 751, the third source region 752, the first channel region 753, the second channel region 754, and the gate conductor 320 of the fourth gate stack. The channel hole connecting the resistor 104 to the third doped region 741 and the outside and the channel hole connecting the gate conductor 320 in the third gate stack and the outside are not shown in the figure. In other embodiments, in this step, only the interlayer dielectric layer 810 is first penetrated to form the channel hole 811 reaching the first source region 711, the first drain region 712, the second source region 721, the second drain region 722, the first doped region 731, the fourth doped region 733, the third drain region 751, the third source region 752, the first channel region 753, and the second channel region 754. After the ohmic contact of the first doping type is formed in the above-mentioned doped regions, the channel hole 811 is further formed to penetrate the interlayer dielectric layer 810 and reach the gate conductor 320 of the first gate stack, the gate conductor 320 of the second gate stack, and the gate conductor 320 in the fourth gate stack.
[0083] In step S80, the channel hole is used as an injection channel to form a second source ohmic contact region, a second drain ohmic contact region, a fourth doped contact region, a first channel contact region, a second channel contact region, and fill the channel hole to form a conductive channel. Figure 3HAs shown, the interlayer dielectric layer 810 is used as a hard mask and the channel hole 811 is used as an injection channel to inject the first doping type dopant, so as to form the first doping type second source ohmic contact region, the second drain ohmic contact region, the fourth doping contact region, the first channel contact region, and the second channel contact region in the second source region 721, the second drain region 722, the fourth doping region 733, the first channel region 753, and the second channel region 754, respectively. Further, in the step of forming the above-mentioned first doping type ohmic contact, the first doping type dopant injected into the first source region 711 and the first drain region 712 is combined with part of the second doping type equivalent dopant in the first source region 711 and the first drain region 712, so that the partial regions in the first source region and the first drain region that are respectively in contact with the channel hole 811 are used as the first source ohmic contact region and the first drain ohmic contact region, and the equivalent dopant in the first source ohmic contact region and the first drain ohmic contact region is maintained as the second doping type. In the step of forming the ohmic contact of the first doping type, the first doping type dopant injected into the third source region 752 and the third drain region 751 is combined with part of the equivalent dopant of the second doping type in the third source region 752 and the third drain region 751, so that the partial regions in the third source region and the third drain region that are in contact with the channel hole 811 are used as the third source ohmic contact region and the third drain ohmic contact region, and the equivalent dopant of the third source ohmic contact region and the third drain ohmic contact region is maintained as the second doping type. In the step of forming the ohmic contact region of the first doping type, the equivalent dopant of the second doping type in the first doping region 731 is combined with the first doping type dopant in the first doping region 731, so that the partial region in the first doping region 731 that is in contact with the channel hole 811 is used as the first doped ohmic contact region, and the equivalent dopant of the first doped ohmic contact region is maintained as the second doping type. The doping dose of the ions injected this time is lower than the doping dose of the second doping type dopant injected when forming the N-type doping region. Wherein, when the gate conductor 320 in the semiconductor device is formed as a polysilicon layer of the second doping type in the process of forming the gate stack, the equivalent dopant of the final gate conductor in the semiconductor device is maintained as the second doping type. In other embodiments, when the gate conductor 320 in the semiconductor device is formed as a polysilicon layer of the first doping type in the process of forming the gate stack, the equivalent dopant of the final gate conductor in the semiconductor device is maintained as the first doping type. Wherein, the polysilicon in the gate conductor is simultaneously injected with dopants in the process of forming the source and drain regions, and the doping dose is the same as the doping dose when forming the source and drain regions, and the dopant is compounded by the initial dopant in the gate conductor 320 to maintain the initial doping type. Next, the channel hole is filled to form a conductive channel.A conductive channel 820 is formed in the channel hole 811 using a conductive material so that the first source region 711, the first drain region 712, the gate conductor 320 of the first gate stack, the second source region 721, the second drain region 722, the gate conductor 320 of the second gate stack, the first doping region 731, the fourth doping region 733, the third drain region 751, the third source region 752, the first channel region 753, and the second channel region 754 are connected to the outside through the conductive channel 820. Then, a low voltage NMOS device 101, a low voltage PMOS device 102, a diode 103, and a resistor 104 are formed adjacent to each other in the first region 111 of the substrate 100, and a high voltage LDMOS device 105 is formed in the second region 112 of the substrate 100, and the first region 111 is adjacent to the second region 112.
[0084] In step S90, a passivation layer is formed. Figure 2 As shown, in Figure 3H A passivation layer 900 is formed by photolithography and deposited on the structure shown. The passivation layer 900 is, for example, at least one of silicon nitride and silicon dioxide.
[0085] Figure 4 A schematic diagram showing a process of forming the first to seventh well regions in another embodiment of the present invention is shown. FIG. 5A to FIG. 5E A structural schematic diagram of each specific step in the process of forming the first to seventh well regions is shown.
[0086] In this embodiment, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, a compensation region of the first doping type is formed on at least a portion of the surface of the well region of the first doping type, so that an isolation structure formed later on the surface of the well region of the first doping type and extending downward contacts the compensation region, so that the doping of the well region of the first doping type is compensated when the isolation structure is formed. In the following embodiment, the compensation region is formed on at least a portion of the surface of the well region of the first doping type without additional masking and photolithography steps, thereby enhancing the isolation effect of the isolation structure.
[0087] like Figure 4 , FIG. 5A to FIG. 5E As shown, the process of forming the first to seventh well regions in this embodiment includes the following steps:
[0088] Step S121: forming a second well region and a seventh well region of a second doping type in the first region of the substrate, and forming a third well region of a second doping type in the second region. Figure 5AAs shown, a first oxide layer is formed on a P-type substrate 100, for example, a silicon dioxide layer is generated by a thermal oxidation method; a third photoresist mask 330 is used to etch the first oxide layer and locate the position of the well region of the second doping type in the substrate 100, the photoresist is removed, and then high-energy N-type ion implantation is performed. After annealing, the first oxide layer is removed, and then the second well region 120 and the seventh well region 140 of N-type high voltage are formed in the first region 111 of the substrate 100, and the third well region 150 of N-type high voltage is formed in the second region 112 of the substrate 100. At the same time, the removed part of the first oxide layer forms a step difference, which can be used for subsequent photolithography alignment, eliminating the conventional alignment photolithography step. The third photoresist mask 330 is then removed.
[0089] Step S122: forming an oxide layer on the substrate and forming a nitride layer on the oxide layer. Figure 5B As shown, an oxide layer 201 and a nitride layer 202 are sequentially deposited on the surface of the substrate 100 . The oxide layer 201 is, for example, a silicon dioxide layer, and the nitride layer 202 is, for example, a silicon nitride layer.
[0090] Step S123: forming active regions in the first region and the second region of the substrate. Figure 5C As shown, the first photoresist mask 310 is used to photolithographically etch the oxide layer 201 and the nitride layer 202 to form active areas in the first area 111 and the second area 113 of the substrate 100. The active areas after photolithography are used as hard masks for forming compensation areas and isolation structures. The first photoresist mask is then removed.
[0091] Step S124: using a photoresist mask to at least cover the well region of the second doping type on the substrate, so as to form a first well region and a sixth well region of the first doping type in the first region, and to form a fourth well region and a fifth well region of the first doping type in the second region. Figure 5D As shown, a second photoresist mask 320 is used to at least block the second well region 120 and the seventh well region 140 of the second doping type in the first area 111 of the substrate 100, and part of the third well region 150 of the second doping type in the second area 112, and high-energy implantation is performed to form a first well region 110 and a sixth well region 130 of the first doping type in the first area 111 of the substrate 100, and a fourth well region 160 and a fifth well region 170 of the first doping type in the second area 112 of the substrate 100, wherein the implantation energy of the dopant of the first doping type implanted by the high-energy implantation enables the dopant to penetrate the active area.
[0092] Step S125: using a photoresist mask and the active region as a hard mask, forming a compensation region of the first doping type on at least a portion of the surface of the well region of the first doping type. Figure 5EAs shown, further, without removing the second photoresist mask 320, the active area is used as a hard mask to form a compensation area of the first doping type in the well area of the first doping type at least below the field oxygen area, and the injection energy of the dopant of the first doping type in the compensation area makes it impossible for the dopant to penetrate the active area. Then, the second photoresist mask is removed. Then, when forming the isolation structure, the following method is used: Figure 5E The active area shown in the structure is used as a hard mask to form an isolation structure 200, and then the active area is removed, and subsequent steps are completed according to the above-mentioned semiconductor device manufacturing method to form a semiconductor device.
[0093] In other embodiments, in the process of forming the first to seventh well regions, the active region can be first formed on the substrate using a first photoresist mask, and then a third photoresist mask is used to block and high-energy implantation is performed to form a well region of the second doping type, and then a second photoresist mask is used and high-energy implantation is performed to form a well region of the first doping type, and then the second photoresist mask is used to block and the active region is used as a hard mask to form a compensation region of the first doping type on at least a portion of the surface of the well region of the first doping type. The above-mentioned single photolithography step is the same as the single step process for forming the first to seventh well regions provided above. Preferably, in the process of high-energy implantation of the well region of the first doping type and the well region of the second doping type, multiple high-energy implantations can be performed to form them.
