For the MTP with floating gate structure, its storage array (array) will contain at least two wells of opposite types and adjacently arranged, such as the wells under the transistors and capacitors, which are of opposite types and adjacently arranged. When writing or erasing the MTP, there will be a high voltage difference between the two wells of opposite types and adjacently arranged, so the two wells of opposite types and adjacently arranged are prone to large leakage, affecting the reliability of the MTP.

[0011] In one embodiment, at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure, the first resistance adjustment region is in contact with the adjacent second resistance adjustment region, and the projection shape of the contact surface between the first resistance adjustment region and the adjacent second resistance adjustment region toward the shallow trench isolation structure is wavy or sawtooth.

[0012] In one of the embodiments, a breakdown voltage between the P-type well region and the N-type well region is positively correlated with a projected area of ​​the first resistance adjustment region at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure toward the shallow trench isolation structure.

[0013] In one of the embodiments, the substrate further includes a deep well region; along a direction perpendicular to the substrate, the deep well region is located between the substrate and the P-type well region and the N-type well region.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0025] The layout structure provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a multi-time programmable memory.

[0026] In an exemplary embodiment, in combination with FIG. Figure 2 , a layout structure is provided, which includes a substrate 100 and a shallow trench isolation structure 130.

[0027] The substrate 100 is, for example, a P-type substrate and includes a P-type well region 110 and an N-type well region 120 , that is, the P-type well region 110 and the N-type well region 120 are formed in the substrate 100 .

[0028] The P-type well region 110 includes a first resistance adjustment region 111 and a first body region other than the first resistance adjustment region 111. The first resistance adjustment region 111 includes a P-type contact region 1111. The ion doping concentration of the P-type contact region 1111 is greater than the ion doping concentration of the first body region. The P-type contact region 1111 is used to connect to an external first metal line. The N-type well region 120 includes a second resistance adjustment region 121 and a second body region other than the second resistance adjustment region 121. The second resistance adjustment region 121 includes an N-type contact region 1211. The ion doping concentration of the N-type contact region 1211 is greater than the ion doping concentration of the second body region. The N-type contact region 1211 is used to connect to an external second metal line. The external second metal line and the external first metal line can be connected to voltages of different magnitudes, and there can be a high voltage difference between the external second metal line and the external first metal line, for example, the voltage connected to the external second metal line is greater than the voltage connected to the external first metal line.

[0029] The shallow trench isolation structure 130 can be formed by using shallow trench isolation (STI) technology. The shallow trench isolation structure 130 is located between the P-type well region 110 and the N-type well region 120. One of the side walls of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 is in contact with the first resistance adjustment region 111 and the first body region, respectively, and the other side wall of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 is in contact with the second resistance adjustment region 121 and the second body region, respectively. The bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 is in contact with the first resistance adjustment region 111, the second resistance adjustment region 121, the first body region, and the second body region, respectively. In addition, at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130, along the second direction x, the first body region is in contact with the adjacent second body region, and the first resistance adjustment region 111 is in contact with the adjacent second resistance adjustment region 121.

[0030] In the above layout structure, the leakage path between the P-type well region 110 and the adjacent N-type well region 120 may pass through the P-type contact region 1111 , the first resistance adjustment region 111 , the second resistance adjustment region 121 and the N-type contact region 1211 in sequence along the second direction x. The projection area S1 of the first resistance adjustment region 111 at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 toward the shallow trench isolation structure 130 is greater than the projection area S2 of the second resistance adjustment region 121 at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 toward the shallow trench isolation structure 130. In other words, the volume of the first resistance adjustment region 111 at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 on the leakage path is greater than the volume of the second resistance adjustment region 121 at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 on the leakage path. Since the resistance of the P-type well region 110 is usually greater than the resistance of the N-type well region 120, the path resistance on the leakage path between the P-type well region 110 and the adjacent N-type well region 120 is increased, thereby reducing the leakage between the P-type well region 110 and the adjacent N-type well region 120. Applying the above layout structure to MTP can reduce the leakage between the P-type well region 110 and the adjacent N-type well region 120 in the MTP, thereby improving the reliability of the MTP.

[0031] In an exemplary embodiment, continuing to refer to FIG. 1 , the breakdown voltage between the P-type well region 110 and the N-type well region 120 is positively correlated with the size of the projection area S1 of the first resistance adjustment region 111 located at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 toward the shallow trench isolation structure 130 .

[0032] In the solution of this embodiment, the larger the projection area of ​​the first resistance adjustment region 111 located at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 toward the shallow trench isolation structure 130, the larger the volume of the first resistance adjustment region 111 located at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 on the leakage path. Since the resistance of the P-type well region 110 is usually greater than the resistance of the N-type well region 120, the larger the path resistance on the leakage path between the P-type well region 110 and the adjacent N-type well region 120, and thus the larger the breakdown voltage between the P-type well region 110 and the adjacent N-type well region 120, the smaller the leakage between the P-type well region 110 and the adjacent N-type well region 120.

[0033] It should be noted that, the larger the projection area S1 of the first resistance adjustment zone 111 located at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 toward the shallow trench isolation structure 130, the smaller the projection area S2 of the second resistance adjustment zone 121 located at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 toward the shallow trench isolation structure 130; the larger the volume of the first resistance adjustment zone 111 located at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 on the leakage path, the smaller the volume of the second resistance adjustment zone 121 located at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 on the leakage path. It can be understood that the P-type well region and the adjacent N-type well region, which originally had the same dimensions in all directions, are enlarged along the second direction x of the area located at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 in the area where the P-type contact area of ​​the P-type well region is located, so as to form a first resistance adjustment 111, and the portion of the P-type well region other than the first resistance adjustment area 111 remains unchanged and serves as a first body region; the second resistance adjustment area 121 is formed by reducing the size of the area located at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 in the area where the N-type contact area of ​​the N-type well region is located along the second direction x, and the portion of the N-type well region other than the second resistance adjustment area 121 remains unchanged and serves as a second body region; as an example, the size of the P-type well region that is enlarged can be the same as the size that is reduced in the adjacent N-type well region, so that the total size of the P-type well region and the adjacent N-type well region will not change, and the size of the MTP does not need to be adjusted when the layout structure is applied to the MTP.

[0034] In an exemplary embodiment, referring to FIG1 , along the first direction y, the length of the first resistance adjustment region 111 is equal to the length of the second resistance adjustment region 121, and the first direction y is perpendicular to the second direction x. In this way, the first resistance adjustment region 111 and the second resistance adjustment region 121 are easy to manufacture, which is conducive to reliably increasing the path resistance on the leakage path between the P-type well region 110 and the adjacent N-type well region 120, thereby reliably reducing the leakage between the P-type well region 110 and the adjacent N-type well region 120.

[0035] In an exemplary embodiment, referring to FIG1 , along the first direction y, the first body region is located on both sides of the first resistance adjustment region 111, and the second body region is located on both sides of the second resistance adjustment region 121, and the first direction y is perpendicular to the second direction x. In this way, it is helpful to ensure that the reliability of the first resistance adjustment region 111 and the second resistance adjustment region 121 is high, and it is helpful to reliably increase the path resistance on the leakage path between the P-type well region 110 and the adjacent N-type well region 120, thereby reliably reducing the leakage between the P-type well region 110 and the adjacent N-type well region 120.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment, with continued reference to FIG. 1 , at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130, the first resistance adjustment region 111 is in contact with the adjacent second resistance adjustment region 121, and the projection of the contact surface of the first resistance adjustment region 111 and the adjacent second resistance adjustment region 121 toward the shallow trench isolation structure 130 is in the shape of a straight line. At this time, the shape of the positive projection of the first resistance adjustment region 111 and the second resistance adjustment region 121 toward the substrate 100 can be a rectangle, the shape of the first resistance adjustment region 111 at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 is a rectangular parallelepiped, and the shape of the second resistance adjustment region 121 at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 is also a rectangular parallelepiped. In this way, the first resistance adjustment region 111 and the second resistance adjustment region 121 are further made easy to manufacture, thereby further facilitating reliable increase of the path resistance on the leakage path between the P-type well region 110 and the adjacent N-type well region 120.

[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130, the first resistance adjustment area 111 is in contact with the adjacent second resistance adjustment area 121, and the projection of the contact surface between the first resistance adjustment area 111 and the adjacent second resistance adjustment area 121 toward the shallow trench isolation structure 130 is wavy. At this time, the first side of the first resistance adjustment area 111 at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 facing the second resistance adjustment area 121 is wavy, and the second side of the second resistance adjustment area 121 at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 facing the first resistance adjustment area 111 is also wavy, and the first side and the second side form a complementary structure for seamless contact. In this way, it is beneficial to accurately control the path resistance on the leakage path between the P-type well region 110 and the adjacent N-type well region 120 by adjusting the degree of concavity and convexity of the first side and the second side.

[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130, the first resistance adjustment region 111 is in contact with the adjacent second resistance adjustment region 121, and the projection of the contact surface between the first resistance adjustment region 111 and the adjacent second resistance adjustment region 121 toward the shallow trench isolation structure 130 is in a sawtooth shape. At this time, the first side surface of the first resistance adjustment region 111 at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 facing the second resistance adjustment region 121 is sawtooth-shaped, and the second side surface of the second resistance adjustment region 121 at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 facing the first resistance adjustment region 111 is also sawtooth-shaped, and the first side surface and the second side surface form a complementary structure for seamless contact. In this way, it is beneficial to accurately control the path resistance on the leakage path between the P-type well region 110 and the adjacent N-type well region 120 by adjusting the degree of concavity and convexity of the first side surface and the second side surface.

[0039] In an exemplary embodiment, continue to refer to Figure 4 , the surface of the P-type contact region 1111 facing away from the substrate 100 is located in the surface of the first resistance adjustment region 111 facing away from the substrate 100, the surface of the P-type contact region 1111 close to the substrate 100 and the side of the P-type contact region 1111 are both located in the first resistance adjustment region 111, and the ion doping concentration of the first resistance adjustment region 111 other than the P-type contact region 1111 is equal to the ion doping concentration of the first body region; the surface of the N-type contact region 1211 facing away from the substrate 100 is located in the surface of the second resistance adjustment region 121 facing away from the substrate 100, the surface of the N-type contact region 1211 close to the substrate 100 and the side of the N-type contact region 1211 are both located in the second resistance adjustment region 121, and the ion doping concentration of the second resistance adjustment region 121 other than the N-type contact region 1211 is equal to the ion doping concentration of the second body region; in this way, it is beneficial to simplify the structure of the layout structure, so that the layout structure is easy to implement and the cost is low.

[0040] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the substrate 100 further includes a deep well region 140, that is, a deep well region 140 is further formed in the substrate 100. The deep well region 140 may be an N-type deep well region. In a direction perpendicular to the substrate 100, the deep well region 140 is located between the substrate 100 and the P-type well region 110 and the N-type well region 120. The deep well region 140 is used to isolate the P-type well region 110 from the adjacent N-type well region 120, and further reduce the leakage between the P-type well region 110 and the adjacent N-type well region 120.

[0041] In an exemplary embodiment, continue to refer to Figure 4Along the second direction x, the P-type contact region 1111 and the N-type contact region 1211 are located on the same straight line, and the distance between the P-type contact region 1111 and the corresponding shallow trench isolation structure 130 is greater than the distance between the N-type contact region 1211 and the corresponding shallow trench isolation structure 130 .

[0042] Exemplarily, the P-type well region 110 is the well region below the capacitor, and the orthographic projection of the P-type contact region 1111 in the first resistance adjustment region 111 can be located in the central area of ​​the first resistance adjustment region 111; the N-type well region 120 is the well region below the transistor, and the orthographic projection of the N-type contact region 1211 in the second resistance adjustment region 121 can be located at the side position of the second resistance adjustment region 121, which is beneficial to reduce crosstalk with surrounding structures.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, along a direction perpendicular to the substrate 100 , the depth of the P-type well region 110 is equal to the depth of the N-type well region 120 , so as to ensure that the basic electrical characteristics of the MTP are maintained when the layout structure is applied to the MTP.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, along the first direction x, the width of the first body region is the same as the width of the second body region, which further ensures that the basic electrical characteristics of the MTP are maintained when the layout structure is applied to the MTP.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, the projection area of ​​the first body region located at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 toward the shallow trench isolation structure 130 is equal to the projection area of ​​the second body region located at the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 toward the shallow trench isolation structure 130, further ensuring that the basic electrical characteristics of the MTP are guaranteed when the layout structure is applied to the MTP.

[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, along a direction perpendicular to the substrate 100, the thickness of the first resistance adjustment region 111 is the same as the thickness of the first body region, and the thickness of the second resistance adjustment region 121 is the same as the thickness of the second body region, further ensuring that the basic electrical characteristics of the MTP are guaranteed when the layout structure is applied to the MTP.

[0047] It is necessary to add that: continue to refer to Figure 4Combined with Table 1, the sum of D1 and D2 is the width of the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 along the second direction x. The larger D1 and the smaller D2, the larger the width of the first resistance adjustment area 111 and the smaller the width of the second resistance adjustment area 121 of the bottom of the shallow trench isolation structure 130 along the second direction x. It can be seen from Table 1 that in the experimental test, as D1 becomes larger and D2 becomes smaller, the larger the breakdown voltage between the P-type well region 110 and the adjacent N-type well region 120 is tested. The larger the breakdown voltage means the larger the path resistance on the leakage path between the P-type well region 110 and the adjacent N-type well region 120. The larger the breakdown voltage or the larger the path resistance on the leakage path, the smaller the corresponding leakage. It can be seen that the solution of the embodiment of the present application effectively reduces the leakage between the P-type well region 110 and the adjacent N-type well region 120.
