[0062] Figure 1 A structure schematic diagram of a semiconductor device is shown in the figure. The semiconductor device 10 includes a semiconductor substrate 100, a ring isolation structure 200, and a gate structure (not shown in the figure).

[0063] In the embodiment, the semiconductor substrate 100 includes an active area AA, the semiconductor substrate 100 has a first conductive type; a gate structure is disposed on the active area AA; and the ring isolation structure is disposed on the active area AA and surrounds the gate structure.

[0064] In the embodiment, the semiconductor substrate 100 includes an active area AA, the semiconductor substrate 100 has a first conductive type; a gate structure is disposed on the active area AA; and the ring isolation structure is disposed on the active area AA and surrounds the gate structure.

[0065] In the embodiment, the semiconductor substrate 100 includes an active area AA, the semiconductor substrate 100 has a first conductive type; a gate structure is disposed on the active area AA; and the ring isolation structure is disposed on the active area AA and surrounds the gate structure. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the semiconductor substrate 100 includes a substrate 101, an insulating buried layer 102, and a semiconductor layer 103. The insulating buried layer 102 is implanted in the substrate 101, and the semiconductor layer 103 is disposed on the side of the substrate 101 close to the insulating buried layer 102. In the embodiment, the semiconductor device is an SOI (Silicon-On-Insulator) device, the substrate 101 is a silicon substrate, the insulating buried layer 102 is an oxygen buried layer, and the semiconductor layer 103 is a top silicon layer.

[0066] As shown in the figure, the semiconductor substrate 100 includes a substrate 101, an insulating buried layer 102, and a semiconductor layer 103. The insulating buried layer 102 is implanted in the substrate 101, and the semiconductor layer 103 is disposed on the side of the substrate 101 close to the insulating buried layer 102. In the embodiment, the semiconductor device is an SOI (Silicon-On-Insulator) device, the substrate 101 is a silicon substrate, the insulating buried layer 102 is an oxygen buried layer, and the semiconductor layer 103 is a top silicon layer. Figure 2As shown, the active region AA is disposed on the semiconductor layer 103 of the semiconductor substrate 100, and includes source-drain regions AA10 on both sides of the gate structure, a body region AA20 outside the ring-shaped isolation structure, a channel region (not shown in the figure) having a top surface provided with the gate structure, and a ring-shaped isolation region AA30 having a top surface provided with the ring-shaped isolation structure 200, so that the body region AA20 surrounds the source-drain regions AA10, and the channel region between the source-drain regions AA10 on both sides of the gate structure is in the active region AA, which can avoid the influence of the radiation effect.

[0067] The source-drain regions AA10 are formed by doping of the second conductive type, and the body region AA20 is formed by doping of the first conductive type. The source-drain regions AA10 and the body region AA20 can be doped by self-aligned implantation, so that no ions are implanted in the channel region and the ring-shaped isolation region AA30, ensuring complete isolation of the source-drain regions AA10 and the body region AA20.

[0068] The second conductive type and the first conductive type are one of P-type and N-type, and the other is N-type. One of the first conductive type doping and the second conductive type doping is P Plus type, and the other is N Plus type. The P Plus type doping ions include but are not limited to P-type ions such as boron ions and fluoroborane ions, and the N Plus type doping ions include but are not limited to N-type ions such as phosphorus ions and arsenic ions.

[0069] The doping types of the source-drain regions AA10 and the body region AA20 are selected according to the specific type of the device. For a PMOS device, the source-drain doping is P Plus, and the body contact doping is N Plus; for an NMOS device, the source-drain doping is N Plus, and the body contact doping is P Plus.

[0070] In the embodiment, the ring-shaped isolation structure 200 is disposed on the active region AA and surrounds the gate structure.

[0071] A first projection region of the ring-shaped isolation structure 200 in the active region AA is located between the source-drain regions AA10 and the body region AA20, and the ring-shaped isolation structure 200 is used to isolate the source-drain regions AA10 and the body region AA20.

[0072] The first projection area of the annular isolation structure 200 is located between the source-drain region AA10 and the body region AA20, so that the source-drain region AA10 and the body region AA20 are spaced apart to be independently arranged, and direct contact is avoided, so that the source-drain region AA10 and the body region AA20 can be provided with independent contact structures to ensure the contact effect; at the same time, the annular isolation structure 200 electrically isolates the source-drain region AA10 and the body region AA20. It should be noted that the orthographic projection of the annular isolation structure 200, the source-drain region AA10 and the body region AA20 on the projection area of the insulating buried layer 102 does not coincide, so as to ensure that the source-drain region AA10 and the body region AA20 are completely independent in the semiconductor substrate 100.

[0073] The annular isolation structure 200 can include an insulating layer arranged on the active region AA and a polysilicon layer arranged on the insulating layer, and the orthographic projection area of the insulating layer on the active region AA is the first projection area, so that the insulating layer divides the active region AA into the source-drain region AA10 and the body region AA20, so as to achieve the effect of isolating the source-drain region AA10 and the body region AA20; at the same time, the annular isolation structure 200 can be prepared at the same time as the gate structure, so as to simplify the process and improve the preparation efficiency.

[0074] In some embodiments, the annular isolation structure 200 includes an open ring structure or a closed ring structure. The open ring structure can be a circular open ring structure, an elliptical open ring structure or a polygonal open ring structure, for example, a three-edge open ring (for example, as shown in FIG. 3, only the annular isolation structure is shown in the figure, with an adjacent edge included angle of 90°), a five-edge open ring (for example, as shown in FIG. 4, only the annular isolation structure is shown in the figure, with an adjacent edge included angle of 90°) or other polygonal open ring structures. Figure 3 The closed ring structure can be a circular closed ring structure, an elliptical closed ring structure or a polygonal closed ring structure, for example, a four-edge closed ring structure (for example, as shown in FIG. 5, only the annular isolation structure is shown in the figure, with an adjacent edge included angle of 90°). Figure 4 Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first surface of the annular isolation structure 200 away from the semiconductor substrate 100 side is flush with the second surface of the gate structure away from the semiconductor substrate side, that is, the thickness of the annular isolation structure 200 is the same as that of the gate structure, so as to facilitate planarization in the subsequent preparation process, and to simplify the process to reduce the preparation cost and preparation time.

[0075] In the embodiment, the gate structure is arranged on the active region AA.

[0076] In the embodiment, the gate structure is arranged on the active region AA.

[0077] ​The gate structure is surrounded by an annular isolation structure 200, and the gate structure and the annular isolation structure 200 are spaced apart, so that the gate structure and the annular isolation structure 200 are independent of each other and do not affect each other. The preset distance of the spacing is not limited and can be adjusted according to the actual layout area requirements.

[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the source and drain regions AA10 on both sides of the gate structure are spaced apart by the gate structure. The source and drain regions AA10 include the drain region AA11 within the active region AA10 surrounded by the gate structure and the source region AA12 within the active region AA10 between the gate structure and the annular isolation structure 200. The gate structure 300 is annular, and the second projection area of ​​the gate structure 300 projected onto the active region AA is located between the drain region AA11 and the source region AA12. The gate structure 300 is used to separate the drain region AA11 and the source region AA12. Thus, the gate structure 300 and the annular isolation structure 200 form a double-ring structure disposed on the active region AA, which can effectively separate the drain region AA11 and the source region AA12, and effectively electrically isolate the source region AA12 from the body region AA20. At the same time, it also makes the drain region AA11, the source region AA12, and the body region AA20 independently disposed, avoiding mutual contact and further improving the contact effect when each region is led out.

[0079] In some embodiments, the gate structure 300 is a ring structure, and the active region AA, the gate structure 300 and the ring isolation structure 200 have the same axis of symmetry. This allows the double-ring structure to divide the symmetrical active region AA into multiple symmetrical regions, including a symmetrical drain region AA11, a symmetrical source region AA12 and a symmetrical body region AA20. This allows for the acquisition of two symmetrically arranged semiconductor devices, which facilitates layout design and effectively utilizes area while reducing manufacturing costs.

[0080] In some embodiments, the gate structure 300 includes an insulating layer disposed on the active region AA and a doped polysilicon layer disposed on the insulating layer. The orthogonal projection region of the insulating layer onto the active region AA is the channel region AA40. The insulating layer separates the drain region and the source region AA12 so that they are independently disposed, avoiding direct contact. Therefore, the drain region AA11 and the source region AA12 can have independent contact structures, further ensuring contact effectiveness. The doping type of the doped polysilicon layer is the same as the doping type of the source / drain regions AA10, and opposite to the doping type of the body region AA20.

[0081] In some embodiments, the gate structure may be a circular ring structure, an elliptical ring structure, or a polygonal ring structure, and is not limited thereto. For example, Figure 7As shown, the gate structure 300 can be an octagonal ring structure, and in order to facilitate layout drawing and process manufacturing, the included angle between two adjacent sides of the octagonal ring structure is set to 135°.

[0082] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2A, the semiconductor device further comprises a first gate lead-out structure 400 for leading out the gate structure 300. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown in FIG. 2A, the shape of the annular isolation structure in the ring isolation structure 200 is taken as an example, Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 2A, the shape of the annular isolation structure in the ring isolation structure 200 is taken as an example, Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 2A, the shape of the annular isolation structure in the ring isolation structure 200 is taken as an example, Figure 9 As shown in FIG. 2A, the shape of the annular isolation structure in the ring isolation structure 200 is taken as an example, Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 2A, the shape of the annular isolation structure in the ring isolation structure 200 is taken as an example,

[0083] For example, the material of the first gate lead-out structure 400 is the same as that of the gate structure 300, and the upper surface of the first gate lead-out structure 400 is flush with the upper surface of the gate structure 300, that is, the upper thickness of the first gate lead-out structure 400 is the same as the thickness of the gate structure 300. Thus, in the preparation, the first gate lead-out structure 400 and the gate structure 300 can be prepared integrally, and then patterned to obtain.

[0084] Further, in some embodiments, the semiconductor substrate 100 further comprises a trench isolation region B1 surrounding the periphery of the active region AA.

[0085] As shown in FIG. 2A, the shape of the annular isolation structure in the ring isolation structure 200 is taken as an example, Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown in FIG. 2A, the shape of the annular isolation structure in the ring isolation structure 200 is taken as an example, Figure 10 As shown in FIG. 2A, the shape of the annular isolation structure in the ring isolation structure 200 is taken as an example, Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 2A, the shape of the annular isolation structure in the ring isolation structure 200 is taken as an example, Figure 11 As shown in FIG. 2A, the shape of the annular isolation structure in the ring isolation structure 200 is taken as an example, Figure 10 As shown in FIG. 2A, the shape of the annular isolation structure in the ring isolation structure 200 is taken as an example, Figure 12 As shown in FIG. 2A, the shape of the annular isolation structure in the ring isolation structure 200 is taken as an example, Figure 12 As shown in FIG. 2A, the shape of the annular isolation structure in the ring isolation structure 200 is taken as an example, Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 2A, the shape of the annular isolation structure in the ring isolation structure 200 is taken as an example,

[0086] The first gate lead-out structure 400 can be T-shaped, with the horizontal end of the T-shape being the lead-out part (401 in the figure), which is located in the trench isolation region B1 and is used to lead out the gate structure 300; the vertical end of the T-shape is the connecting part (402 in the figure), which is used to connect to the gate structure 300 and the lead-out part respectively.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown ( Figure 13 The ring-shaped isolation structure in Figure 5 Taking the shape shown as an example, Figure 14 for Figure 13 (In a cross-sectional view along the EE' direction), when the annular isolation structure 200 is a closed annular isolation structure, the semiconductor device further includes a second gate lead-out structure 500 for leading out the gate structure 300. The second gate lead-out structure 500 includes a lead-out portion 501 and a connecting portion 502. The lead-out portion 501 is disposed on the semiconductor substrate 100 and located outside the active region AA. The connecting portion 502 is connected to the gate structure 300 and bypasses the annular isolation structure 200 to connect to the lead-out portion 501. The connecting portion 502 is electrically insulated from the annular isolation structure 200. By disposing of the second gate lead-out structure 500 on the semiconductor substrate 100 and leading out the gate structure 300 by bypassing the annular isolation structure 200, the area occupied by the second gate lead-out structure 500 on the semiconductor substrate 100 can be reduced. This effectively utilizes the area of ​​the active region AA to expand the area occupied by the annular isolation structure 200, thereby expanding the area of ​​the body region AA20.

[0088] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 15 and Figure 16 ( Figure 15 The ring-shaped isolation structure in Figure 5 Taking the shape shown as an example, Figure 16 for Figure 15 As shown in the cross-sectional view in the EE' direction, the semiconductor substrate 100 also includes a trench isolation region B2 surrounding the active region AA.

[0089] The lead-out portion 501 is disposed on the trench isolation region B2, and the connecting portion 502 extends from the gate structure 300 of the active region AA, bypasses the annular isolation structure 200, and crosses to the trench isolation region B2 to connect with the lead-out portion 501.

[0090] The connecting part 502 can be in the shape of an arch, an inverted U, or an inverted V. Figure 14 and Figure 16 Taking an inverted U-shape as an example, an arched, inverted U-shaped, or inverted V-shaped structure is advantageous for the connecting part to bypass the annular isolation structure 200 and connect to the lead-out part 501 with a shorter distance.

[0091] It should be noted that both the trench isolation region B1 and the trench isolation region B2 mentioned above can be used to further isolate and protect the active region AA by setting a trench isolation structure. The trench isolation structure can be a shallow trench isolation structure; for example, a shallow trench isolation structure is disposed in the semiconductor layer 103 of the semiconductor substrate 100. For a thicker semiconductor layer 103, the shallow trench isolation structure can extend to the interface between the semiconductor layer 103 and the buried insulating layer 102; for a thinner semiconductor layer 103, the shallow trench isolation structure can extend to the buried insulating layer 102.

[0092] In some embodiments, when the annular isolation structure 200 is a closed annular isolation structure, the gate structure 300 can also lead out the gate structure 300 by providing a through hole above the gate structure 300 and filling it with conductive material, thereby effectively reducing the area occupied by the lead-out structure on the semiconductor substrate 100, and thus effectively utilizing the area of ​​the active region AA to expand the area occupied by the annular isolation structure 200, thereby expanding the area of ​​the body region AA20.

[0093] In some embodiments, such as Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown ( Figure 17 The ring-shaped isolation structure in Figure 4 Taking the shape as an example, Figure 18 for Figure 17 In the cross-sectional view along the EE' direction (where B is the trench isolation region), the semiconductor device also includes a first conductive structure 600 and a second conductive structure 700.

[0094] The first conductive structure 600 is disposed on the source / drain region AA10 and is used to lead out the source / drain region AA10; the second conductive structure 700 is disposed on the body region AA20 and is used to lead out the body region AA20.

[0095] The first conductive structure 600 is used to connect with the first metal layer of the subsequently fabricated semiconductor device, thereby bringing out the source / drain region AA10; the second conductive structure 700 is used to connect with the first metal layer of the subsequently fabricated semiconductor device, thereby bringing out the body region AA20. Where the area of ​​the active region AA is permissible, the more first conductive structures 600 and second conductive structures 700 there are, the lower the equivalent resistance can be. For example, a planarization layer can be formed on the semiconductor substrate 100, the gate structure 300, and the annular isolation structure 200. Contact holes are etched on the planarization layer in the regions corresponding to the source / drain region AA10 and the body region AA20, and the contact holes are filled with a conductive dielectric to obtain the first conductive structure 600 and the second conductive structure 700.

[0096] In some embodiments, the source-drain region AA10 includes a drain region AA11 in the active region surrounded by the gate structure 300 and a source region AA12 in the active region between the gate structure 300 and the ring-shaped isolation structure 200; the first conductive structure 600 includes a drain region conductive structure 601 and a source region conductive structure 602.

[0097] The drain region conductive structure 601 is arranged in the drain region AA11 and is used to lead out the drain region AA11; the source region conductive structure 602 is arranged in the source region AA12 and is used to lead out the source region AA12.

[0098] The drain region conductive structure 601 is specifically used to connect the drain region with a first layer metal layer of a semiconductor device prepared subsequently, thereby leading out the drain region; the source region conductive structure 602 is specifically used to connect the source region AA12 with a first layer metal layer of a semiconductor device prepared subsequently, thereby leading out the source region AA12. In the case that the area of the source-drain region AA10 allows, the more the number of the drain region conductive structure 601 and the source region conductive structure, the lower the equivalent resistance. Exemplarily, a planarization layer can be arranged on the semiconductor substrate 100, the gate structure 300 and the ring-shaped isolation structure 200, a contact hole is etched on the region corresponding to the drain region and the source region AA12 on the planarization layer, and a conductive medium is filled in the contact hole to obtain the drain region conductive structure 601 and the source region conductive structure 602.

[0099] The gate structure 300 and the ring-shaped isolation structure 200 form a double-ring structure arranged on the active region AA, can effectively separate the drain region AA11 and the source region AA12, effectively isolate the source region AA12 and the body region AA20, so that the drain region AA11, the source region AA12 and the body region AA20 are independently arranged and do not contact each other; at the same time, the drain region conductive structure 601, the source region conductive structure 602 and the second conductive structure 700 on the body region AA20 can be effectively spaced, so that the drain region conductive structure 601, the source region conductive structure 602 and the second conductive structure 700 are independently arranged and do not contact each other, further improving the contact effect when leading out each region.

[0100] The semiconductor device provided by the embodiment comprises a semiconductor substrate 100, a ring-shaped isolation structure 200 and a gate structure 300, wherein the semiconductor substrate 100 comprises an active region AA, the gate structure 300 is arranged on the active region AA, and the ring-shaped isolation structure 200 is arranged on the active region AA and surrounds the gate structure 300. The active region AA outside the ring-shaped isolation structure comprises a body region AA20 doped with a first conductive type, the active region AA on both sides of the gate structure 300 comprises a source-drain region AA10 doped with a second conductive type, and the source-drain regions AA10 on both sides of the gate structure 300 are arranged at intervals through the gate structure 300; the body region AA20 and the source-drain region AA10 are electrically isolated through the ring-shaped isolation structure 200, and the first conductive type and the second conductive type are opposite conductive types. Through the arrangement of the ring-shaped isolation structure 200, the source-drain region AA10 and the body region AA20 can be spaced apart to be independent of each other, direct contact is avoided, and therefore the source-drain region AA10 and the body region AA20 can be provided with independent contact structures in the subsequent process, the contact effect is ensured, and the reliability of the semiconductor device is improved. Meanwhile, the arrangement of the ring-shaped isolation structure 200 achieves the electrical isolation performance between the source-drain region AA10 and the body region AA20, and further improves the reliability of the semiconductor device.
