[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing, in particular to an LDMOS device; the present invention also relates to a manufacturing method of the LDMOS device. Background Art
[0002] Power semiconductor devices are capable of power management and processing, serving as a bridge between weak current and strong current. High-voltage gate driver integrated circuits, with their advantages of fast response time, low power consumption, high integration, and high reliability, are widely used in motor drives, automotive electronics, electronic ballasts, switch-mode power supplies, and other fields. 600V high-voltage LDMOS transistors are used as level-shifting transistors and as high-voltage isolation areas between high-end and low-end devices.
[0003] For 12-inch wafers, considering issues such as stress and wafer warpage, the only solution for manufacturing BCD (Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS) products is shallow trench isolation (STI) field oxide (Field OX).
[0004] When ultra-high voltage is applied to the drain of a 600V high-voltage LDMOS device, the electric field is most concentrated at the junction edge of the drain's N+ implant region and at the STI corner in the drift region near the drain. Therefore, breakdown is more likely to occur at the STI corner. This susceptibility to breakdown at the STI corner results in poor HCI reliability. Summary of the Invention

[0043] The drift region field oxygen of the present invention has a first shallow trench isolation, and a doping region shielding layer heavily doped with the first conductive type is formed at the second bottom corner of the first shallow trench isolation close to the drain region. Since the doping region shielding layer and the drain region have the same doping type and are heavily doped, when a high voltage is applied to the drain region, the doping region shielding layer will not be depleted, so it will have a shielding effect on the electric field, so that the second bottom corner of the drift region field oxygen will not be affected by the electric field of high electric field strength, and the second bottom corner of the drift region field oxygen will not withstand high voltage. In this way, the reliability of the second bottom corner of the drift region field oxygen can be improved, thereby improving the reliability of the entire device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0047] like Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an LDMOS device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The LDMOS device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:
[0048] A drift region doped with a first conductivity type and a body region 108 doped with a second conductivity type are formed in selected areas of the first epitaxial layer 102 .
[0049] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first epitaxial layer 102 is formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 101. The first epitaxial layer 102 has a first conductivity type doping, and the drift region is composed of the first epitaxial layer 102 between the body region 108 and the drain region 111.
[0050] The semiconductor substrate 101 includes a silicon substrate. The first epitaxial layer 102 includes a silicon epitaxial layer.
[0051] A drift region field oxide 107 is formed in a selected area of the drift region; the drift region field oxide 107 includes a first shallow trench isolation 105 formed in the first shallow trench 103. The first shallow trench 103 and the first shallow trench isolation 105 are respectively as follows: Figure 2A and Figure 2C shown.
[0052] In an embodiment of the present invention, the top surface of the first shallow trench isolation 105 is flush with the top surface of the first epitaxial layer 102. A second step oxide layer 106 is further formed on top of the first shallow trench isolation 105. The drift region field oxide 107 is formed by the superposition of the first shallow trench isolation 105 and the second step oxide layer 106. In some preferred embodiments, the first side surface of the second step oxide layer 106 is aligned with the first side surface of the first shallow trench isolation 105, and the second side surface of the second step oxide layer 106 is aligned with the second side surface of the first shallow trench isolation 105.
[0053] In this embodiment of the present invention, a shallow trench 103a and shallow trench isolation 105a are also formed outside the drift region. Shallow trenches and shallow trench isolations not formed in the drift region are indicated by 103a and 105a, respectively. A step oxide layer is also formed on top of the shallow trench isolation 105a, overlapping to form a field oxide 107a outside the drift region. Including the shallow trench isolation 105a in the field oxide 107a helps reduce stress on the wafer. The wafer is comprised of the semiconductor substrate 101.
[0054] The first side surface 1031 and the second side surface 1032 of the first shallow trench 103 are as follows: Figure 2A As shown, a gap exists between the first side surface 1031 of the first shallow trench 103 and the body region 108 .
[0055] The gate structure covers a surface of a selected area of the body region 108 and extends from a first side surface of the drift region field oxide 107 to a top surface of the drift region field oxide 107 .
[0056] In the embodiment of the present invention, the gate structure includes a gate dielectric layer (not shown) and a polysilicon gate 109 stacked in sequence, and the polysilicon gate 109 extending to the top surface of the drift region field oxide 107 forms a polysilicon shielding layer 109 a.
[0057] A heavily doped source region 110 of the first conductivity type is formed in the body region 108 and is self-aligned with the first side surface of the gate structure.
[0058] The drain region 111 heavily doped with the first conductivity type is self-aligned with the second side surface of the drift region field oxide 107 .
[0059] A doped region shielding layer 104 heavily doped with the first conductive type is formed in the drift region at the second bottom corner of the first shallow trench 103 and completely covers the second bottom corner. The second bottom angle of the first shallow trench 103 is the bottom angle of the bottom of the second side surface 1032 of the first shallow trench 103. The first bottom angle of the first shallow trench 103 is the bottom angle of the bottom of the first side surface 1031 of the first shallow trench 103. The second bottom angle of the first shallow trench 103 is also the second bottom angle of the drift region field oxygen 107.
[0060] In the embodiment of the present invention, the doped region shielding layer 104 further completely covers the second side surface 1032 of the first shallow trench 103 and contacts the drain region 111 at the top of the second side surface 1032 of the first shallow trench 103 .
[0061] When the drain region 111 is connected to the operating voltage, the first conductivity type of the doped region shielding layer 104 is heavily doped so that the doped region shielding layer 104 will not be depleted, thereby reducing the electric field strength at the second bottom corner of the drift region field oxygen 107 and improving the reliability of the device.
[0062] In the embodiment of the present invention, the source region 110 is connected to a source electrode formed by a front metal layer through a contact hole 113a at the top. The metal of the source electrode also extends to above the drift region field oxide 107 and forms a source metal shielding layer 114a.
[0063] The drain region 111 is connected to a drain electrode formed by a front metal layer through a contact hole 113 b at the top. The metal of the drain electrode also extends to above the drift region field oxide 107 and forms a drain metal shielding layer 114 b.
[0064] A body contact region 112 heavily doped with the second conductivity type is further formed on the surface of the body region 108 . The body contact region 112 is also connected to the source through a contact hole 113 a .
[0065] In the embodiment of the present invention, the LDMOS device is an N-type device, the first conductivity type is N-type, and the second conductivity type is P-type. In other embodiments, the LDMOS device can also be a P-type device, the first conductivity type is P-type, and the second conductivity type is N-type.

Since the doping region shielding layer 104 and the drain region 111 have the same doping type and are heavily doped, when a high voltage is applied to the drain region 111, the doping region shielding layer 104 will not be depleted, so it will have a shielding effect on the electric field, so that the second bottom corner of the drift region field oxygen 107 will not be affected by the electric field of high electric field strength, and the second bottom corner of the drift region field oxygen 107 will not withstand high voltage. In this way, the reliability of the second bottom corner of the drift region field oxygen 107 can be improved, thereby improving the reliability of the entire device.
[0067] like Figures 2A to 2F FIG2 is a schematic diagram of the device structure in each step of the manufacturing method of the LDMOS device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The manufacturing method of the LDMOS device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0073] Step 22: Figure 2B As shown, first conductive type heavily doped ions are implanted to form a doped region shielding layer 104 in the drift region at the second bottom corner of the first shallow trench 103 , and the doped region shielding layer 104 completely covers the second bottom corner.
[0074] In the method of the embodiment of the present invention, the doped region shielding layer 104 also completely covers the second side surface 1032 of the first shallow trench 103 and contacts the subsequently formed drain region 111 at the top of the second side surface 1032 of the first shallow trench 103 .
[0075] Step 23: Figure 2C As shown, an oxide layer is filled in the first shallow trench 103 to form the first shallow trench isolation 105 .
[0076] In the method of the embodiment of the present invention, shallow trench isolation 105 a is also formed in the shallow trench 103 a outside the drift region.
[0077] The oxide layer in the first shallow trench 103 is usually deposited by a high density plasma (HDP) CVD process, and then a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process is performed after the HDP CVD process is completed to achieve planarization.
[0078] In some preferred embodiments, the top surface of the first shallow trench isolation 105 is flush with the top surface of the first epitaxial layer 102 .

[0080] A second step oxide layer 106 is formed on top of the first shallow trench isolation 105 using an oxide layer deposition and patterned etching process, wherein the drift region field oxide 107 is formed by stacking the first shallow trench isolation 105 and the second step oxide layer 106. A first side surface of the second step oxide layer 106 is aligned with a first side surface of the first shallow trench isolation 105, and a second side surface of the second step oxide layer 106 is aligned with a second side surface of the first shallow trench isolation 105.
[0081] A step oxide layer is also stacked on the top of the shallow trench isolation 105 a to form a field oxide 107 a .
[0082] Step 3: Figure 2D As shown, a body region 108 doped with a second conductivity type is formed in a selected region of the first epitaxial layer 102 .
[0083] The body region 108 is usually formed by a high-voltage well region process.

The source region 110 is formed in the body region 108 and is self-aligned with the first side of the gate structure. The drain region 111 is self-aligned with the second side of the drift region field oxide 107.
[0089] When the drain region 111 is connected to the operating voltage, the first conductivity type of the doped region shielding layer 104 is heavily doped so that the doped region shielding layer 104 will not be depleted, thereby reducing the electric field strength at the second bottom corner of the drift region field oxygen 107 and improving the reliability of the device.
[0090] After step 5, if Figure 1 As shown, the process of forming an interlayer film (not shown), contact holes and a front metal layer is also included.
