[0036] Figures 10 to 12 is a schematic structural diagram of each step of the method for forming a semiconductor structure according to another embodiment of the present invention;
[0037] Figures 13 to 14 It is a schematic structural diagram of each step of a method for forming a semiconductor structure according to another embodiment of the present invention. Detailed implementation manners
[0038] It should be noted that the "surface" and "upper" in this specification are used to describe the relative positional relationship in space and do not limit whether there is direct contact.
[0039] As described in the background art, the existing BCD process needs to be further improved.
[0040] Specifically, the existing mature BCD process is a planar structure. The laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) is more easily compatible with the CMOS process and is widely used. However, due to its lateral structure, restricted by the on-resistance, it cannot provide a large current and can only meet the applications with low power. To meet the high-power requirements, it is necessary to integrate a vertical double-diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (VDMOS) device in the BCD process. The VDMOS has a higher breakdown voltage than the planar LDMOS, and has the advantages of small on-resistance and small layout area. However, due to its vertical structure, its compatibility with low-voltage CMOS circuits is poor.
[0041] To solve the above problems, in a semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same provided by the present invention, the VDMOS device is integrated with the BCD structure, effectively improving the compatibility between the VDMOS device and the BCD process. Furthermore, an isolation structure is provided between different devices, and the VDMOS device is physically isolated from the CMOS device and the BJT device in the BCD process through the buried insulating layer and the isolation structure, which is beneficial to reducing the influence of system parasitic parameters and improving the process stability of the overall structure.
[0042] To make the above objects, features, and beneficial effects of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following will describe the specific embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
