[0042] The following is a further detailed description of a method for reducing parasitic capacitance of a high-voltage SOI BCD process proposed by the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer according to the following description. It should be noted that the accompanying drawings are all in a very simplified form and are not in precise proportions, and are only used to conveniently and clearly assist in explaining the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0043] The present invention provides a method for reducing parasitic capacitance of a high-voltage SOI BCD process, the process of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0044] Step S11, making high and low pressure pipe trench isolation grooves;

[0045] Step S12, making a trench connection groove of a low voltage NMOS tube area;

[0046] Step S13, making the high and low voltage tube P wells and the high voltage tube LDD N-voltage-resistant drift region;

[0047] Step S14, making a high-voltage tube polycrystalline field plate;

[0048] Step S15, making gate oxide and gate polycrystalline;

[0049] Step S16, making N+, P+ and contact holes;

[0050] Step S17: making metal and passivation layers.

[0051] The specific process steps are as follows:

[0052] First, a photomask 4 (PHOTO) is formed on the surface of the device layer 3 (N-EPI) of the Si substrate 1 (N+SUB), and a trench isolation groove 5 is made at the exposed part of the photomask 4 to isolate the high-voltage tube from the low-voltage tube in the high-voltage area, and the low-voltage tubes from each other to withstand the pressure; the trench isolation groove 5 is photoetched to form an isolation ring isolated from the buried oxide insulation layer; the depth of the trench isolation groove 5 is 3μm to 50μm, and it ends at the upper surface of the buried oxide insulation layer 2 at most, and the width is 2μm to 5μm, and the inclination angle and bottom morphology of the trench isolation groove 5 are controlled, such as Figure 2 Shown is a cross-sectional schematic diagram after completing this step;

[0053] Remove the photomask 4 (PHOTO), and deposit SiO2 medium 6 in the trench isolation groove 5, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown. Since the production of high-voltage tubes will inevitably cause additional resistance and capacitance in the low-voltage tube area, in order to reduce the parasitic resistance and capacitance in the low-voltage NMOS tube area, a Trench connection groove 7 is produced. Through the Trench connection groove 7, the upper and lower resistors in the low-voltage tube are connected through the rear polycrystalline, and at the same time, there is no voltage difference between the device layer and the substrate layer, eliminating the parasitic capacitance caused by the buried oxide insulation layer 2. The width of the Trench connection groove 7 is 1μm to 3μm, and the depth of the Trench connection groove 7 depends on the depth of the buried oxygen insulation layer 2, and is more than 1μm deeper than the buried oxygen insulation layer 2, that is, the Trench connection groove 7 penetrates the buried oxygen insulation layer 2 and contacts the Si substrate 1, as shown Figure 4 Shown is a cross-sectional schematic diagram after completing this step;

[0054] Polycrystalline 8 is deposited in the trench connection groove 7, and the deposition thickness is 0.75 μm to 2 μm. Figure 5Shown is a cross-sectional schematic diagram after completing this step;

[0055] The high-pressure tube P well 9 and the low-pressure tube P well 10 are manufactured. The impurities injected into the high-pressure tube P well 9 and the low-pressure tube P well 10 are P-type impurities such as B / BF2 / BF3. The injection energy of the high-pressure tube P well 9 and the low-pressure tube P well 10 is 50keV~100keV, and the injection dose is 5E13~5E14, so as to form a withstand voltage and isolation area. Figure 6 Shown is a cross-sectional schematic diagram after completing this step;

[0056] The production of the high-voltage tube LDD N-drift region 11 first involves photolithography, implantation and annealing of the high-voltage tube LDD N-drift region 11, and the N-impurities are implanted with N-type impurities such as As or P. The LDD implantation energy is 50keV to 100keV, and the implantation dose is 1E13 to 1E14, forming a withstand voltage and connection region, such as Figure 7 Shown is a cross-sectional schematic diagram after completing this step;

[0057] The polycrystalline field plate is manufactured, and the field oxide SiO2 dielectric 12 is deposited, photolithographically and etched to form the desired morphology. The thickness of the field oxide SiO2 dielectric 12 is 350nm to 1500nm. Figure 8 Shown is a cross-sectional schematic diagram after completing this step;

[0058] A gate oxide SiO2 dielectric 13 is formed on the surface, the thickness of the gate oxide SiO2 dielectric 13 is 30nm to 80nm, and a gate polycrystalline 14 control region is deposited, photolithographically and etched on the surface of the gate oxide SiO2 dielectric 13, the thickness of the gate polycrystalline 14 is 0.5μm to 1.0μm, forming a device gate control terminal, such as Fig. 9 Shown is a cross-sectional schematic diagram after completing this step;

[0059] N+15 and P+16 photolithography and implantation are performed. For N+15 implantation, the N-type impurities injected are mostly As or P, the N-type impurity implantation energy is 40keV~80keV, and the implantation dose is 1E15-1E16; for P+16 implantation, the P-type impurities are B or BF2 or BF3, the P-type impurity implantation energy is 20keV~60keV, and the implantation dose is 1E15-5E15. Fig.10 Shown is a cross-sectional schematic diagram after completing this step;

[0060] A SiO2 dielectric layer is grown by chemical deposition as a full coverage of the isolation layer. The thickness of the SiO2 dielectric layer 17 is 0.6μm to 0.8μm. The contact hole 18 is photolithographically and dry-etched. The design size of the contact hole 18 is 150nm to 300nm. Tungsten is formed in the contact hole 18 by chemical vapor deposition. The gate, drain, source, and body regions of the high and low voltage tubes are respectively led out from the contact hole 18 to realize the connection function, such as Fig.11 Shown is a cross-sectional schematic diagram after completing this step;

[0061] After metal deposition, photolithography and etching are completed, the thickness of metal 19 is 0.7μm~1.5μm, which is connected to contact hole 19 for chip functional connection and subsequent bonding; then a layer of passivation medium is chemically deposited, photolithographically and etched, and the passivation medium 20 is SiO2, or SiO2+Si3N4, with a thickness of 0.5μm~1.0μm, to complete device isolation and protection, such as Fig.12 The figure shows a cross-sectional view after completing this step.

[0062] Through the above main design methods, a method for reducing the parasitic capacitance of the high-voltage SOI BCD process is formed. The present invention connects the device layer 3 and the substrate layer 1 through polycrystalline 8 to achieve zero upper and lower potential difference. On the one hand, it shields the inherent series resistance in the thick device layer 3, and on the other hand, it eliminates the parasitic capacitance of the buried oxygen insulating layer 2, thereby improving the operating frequency and dv / dt capability of the circuit using the high-voltage SOI process. The present invention can achieve the device with total dose reinforcement capability without adding any new process steps.

[0063] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any changes or modifications made by a person skilled in the art in the field of the present invention based on the above disclosure shall fall within the scope of protection of the claims.
