[0041] It should be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being "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. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on, directly adjacent to, directly connected to or directly coupled to other elements or layers, there may be 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, regions, layers and / or parts, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or parts should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or part from another element, component, region, layer or part. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the present invention, the first element, component, region, layer or part discussed below may be represented as a second element, component, region, layer or part.
[0042] Spatially relative terms such as "under," "below," "below," "under," "above," "above," etc., may be used herein for ease of description to describe the relationship of an element or feature shown in the figures to other elements or features. It should be understood that in addition to the orientations shown in the figures, the spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use and operation. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is flipped, then the elements or features described as "under other elements" or "under" or "under" will be oriented as "on" the other elements or features. Therefore, the exemplary terms "under" and "under" may include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be oriented otherwise (rotated 90 degrees or other orientations) and the spatial descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.
[0043] The purpose of the terms used herein is only to describe specific embodiments and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

Thus, variations from the shapes shown due to, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances can be expected. Therefore, embodiments of the invention should not be limited to the specific shapes of the zones shown herein, but include shape deviations due to, for example, manufacturing. For example, an implanted region shown as a rectangle typically has rounded or curved features and / or an implant concentration gradient at its edges, rather than a binary change from an implanted region to a non-implanted region. Similarly, a buried region formed by implantation may result in some implantation in the region between the buried region and the surface through which the implantation is performed. Therefore, the regions shown in the figures are schematic in nature, and their shapes are not intended to show the actual shape of the region of the device and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

In an embodiment of the present application, the first isolation structure 22 includes a second conductive type well region. The semiconductor device also includes a first isolation region 12. The first isolation region 12 is connected to the first isolation structure 22, and the first isolation region 12 and the first isolation structure 22 together surround the first device region 10.

[0048] The semiconductor device also includes a substrate 110, a source region 146 and a drain region 144. The source region 146 and the drain region 144 are the source region and the drain region of the first device respectively.

The second isolation structure 122 has a large depth and the isolation well 124 has a small depth, so that the breakdown voltage (i.e., withstand voltage) of the device can be taken into account while reducing the leakage current.

In one embodiment of the present application, the depth of the isolation well 124 is not less than the depth of the drift region 142. A second isolation structure 122 having an insulating medium is provided in the isolation well 124, so that the charges between the conductive impurity ions in the drift region 142 and the second isolation structure 122 are more easily balanced, which is conducive to the transfer of the electric field peak of the drift region 142 and the substrate 110 near the drain region 144 to the second isolation structure 122, and can effectively prevent the semiconductor device from being broken down prematurely during reverse withstand voltage.

The conductive structure 122b, the dielectric layer 122a and the isolation well 124 form a capacitor effect similar to that of a conductive material-dielectric material-semiconductor, which can not only assist in depleting the drift region 142, but also press the equipotential lines at the bottom of the drift region 142 into the second isolation structure 122 when the power device is reversely cut off, greatly reducing the electric field peak caused by the introduction of the isolation well 124.
