DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] For the purpose of promoting an understanding of the application, the application will now be described in greater detail with reference to the drawings. Given in the drawings are embodiments of the application. However, the application can be realized in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete. It will be apparent, however, to one of ordinary skill in the art that the application can be practiced without these specific details.

[0046] 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 application belongs. The terminology used in the description of the application herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0047] It will be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being "on", "adjacent", "connected" or "coupled" to another element or layer, it can be directly on, adjacent, connected or coupled to the other element or layer or intervening elements or layers can be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on", "directly adjacent", "directly connected" or "directly coupled" to another element or layer, there are no intervening elements or layers present. It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third, etc. can be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another element, component, region, layer or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section; for example, a first doped type could be termed a second doped type; and similarly, a second doped type could be termed a first doped type; a first doped type and a second doped type are different doped types, e.g., a first doped type can be P-type and a second doped type can be N-type, or a first doped type can be N-type and a second doped type can be P-type.

[0048] Spatially relative terms, such as "beneath", "below", "lower", "under", "above", "upper" and the like, can be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use and / or operation in addition to the orientations depicted in the figures. For example, if a device in the figures is turned over, elements described as "below" or "beneath" other elements or features would then be oriented "above" the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device can also be oriented in the other direction (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.

[0049] The singular forms "a", "an", and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises", "comprising", "includes" and / or "including", or the like, when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.

[0050] Embodiments of the application are described herein with reference to the drawings, which show ideal embodiments (and intermediate structures) of the application. Variations to the shapes of the features illustrated in the drawings can occur because of, for example, manufacturing processes and / or tolerances. Thus, embodiments of the application should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions illustrated herein, but are to include deviations in shapes that result from, for example, manufacturing. For example, an implanted region illustrated as a rectangle will, typically, have rounded or curved features at its edges rather than a binary change from implanted to non-implanted region. Similarly, a buried region formed by implantation can result in some implantation in a region between the buried region and a surface through which the implantation was performed. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of a region of a device and are not intended to limit the scope of the application.

[0051] Polysilicon has the advantages of strong electric field effect mobility and low resistance, and is widely used in semiconductor devices.

Unless otherwise specified herein, the execution of these steps is not strictly limited in sequence, and these steps can be executed in other sequences. Moreover, Figs. 1 to 3 at least part of the steps in the method can comprise multiple steps or multiple stages, which are not necessarily executed at the same time, but can be executed at different times, and the execution sequence of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be executed in rotation or alternation with other steps or steps or stages in other steps.
