[0017] In the above-described method for manufacturing a laterally diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor device, the first conductive material in the second conductivity type well region below the gate (i.e., the first conductive material in the channel region) is electrically connected to the gate. The first conductive material will sense the same potential as the gate, inverting a portion of the second conductivity type well region around the first trench structure, thereby improving the device's current carrying capacity and reducing its on-resistance. The first doped region below the bottom of the first trench structure forms an inverted PN junction with the bottom semiconductor layer, which can prevent the gate current from flowing to the bottom semiconductor layer.

[0026] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings. However, the invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.
[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0028] It should be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as "on," "adjacent to," "connected to," or "coupled to" other elements or layers, it may be directly on, adjacent to, connected to, or coupled to other elements or layers, or there may be intervening elements or layers. Conversely, when an element is referred to as "directly on," "directly adjacent to," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" other elements or layers, there are no intervening elements or layers. It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used to describe various elements, components, areas, layers, and / or portions, these elements, components, areas, layers, and / or portions should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, area, layer, or portion from another element, component, area, layer, or portion. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of this invention, the first element, component, area, layer, or portion discussed below may be referred to as the second element, component, area, layer, or portion.
[0029] Spatial relation terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “under,” “above,” “above,” etc., are used herein for convenience of description to describe the relationship between one element or feature shown in the figure and other elements or features. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientation shown in the figure, spatial relation terms are intended to also include different orientations of the device in use and operation. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, then the element or feature described as “below” or “under” the other element or feature will be oriented “above” the other element or feature. Therefore, the exemplary terms “below” and “under” can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or otherwise) and the spatial descriptive terms used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
[0030] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. When used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms “comprising” and / or “including,” when used in this specification, identify the presence of the stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups. When used herein, the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of the associated listed items.
[0031] Embodiments of the invention are described herein with reference to cross-sectional views that serve as schematic diagrams of ideal embodiments (and intermediate structures). Thus, variations in the shape shown can be anticipated due to, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances. Therefore, embodiments of the invention should not be limited to the specific shapes of the regions shown herein, but include shape deviations due to, for example, manufacturing processes. For example, implantation regions shown as rectangular typically have rounded or curved features at their edges and / or implantation concentration gradients, rather than a binary change from implantation regions to non-implantation regions. Similarly, the buried regions formed by implantation can result in some implantation in the region between the buried region and the surface traversed during implantation. Therefore, the regions shown in the figures are substantially schematic, and their shapes are not intended to show the actual shapes of the regions of the device and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
[0032] The semiconductor terminology used in this article is the technical terminology commonly used by those skilled in the art. For example, for P-type and N-type impurities, in order to distinguish the doping concentration, P+ type represents heavily doped P-type, P type represents moderately doped P-type, P- type represents lightly doped P-type, N+ type represents heavily doped N-type, N type represents moderately doped N-type, and N- type represents lightly doped N-type.

Figure 5a .
[0060] The trench 121 has multiple trenches. In one embodiment of this application, each trench 121 is formed only in the region where the second conductivity type well region 104 is formed in a subsequent step. In another embodiment of this application, each trench 121 is also formed in the region where the drift region 102 is located.

[0074] In the aforementioned laterally diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor device, the conductive material in the trench 121 of the channel region is electrically connected to the gate 107, and will induce the same potential as the gate 107. This will invert the second conductivity type well region 104 in a portion of the area surrounding the trench 121, thereby improving the device's current carrying capacity and reducing its on-resistance. The first conductivity type region below the bottom of the trench 121 forms a reverse PN junction with the bottom semiconductor layer 101, which can prevent the current from the gate 107 from flowing to the bottom semiconductor layer 101, reducing the impact of the back gate effect on the device.
