[0040] Next, in conjunction with Figures 2 to 5Describe in detail each step of the preparation method of the composite semiconductor device according to the embodiments of the present invention. Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of a part of the input / output device 11 in a composite semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of a part of the flash memory 12 in a composite semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 It is a simplified schematic diagram of a part of the LDMOS device 13 in a composite semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 It is a detailed schematic diagram of a part of the LDMOS device 13 in a composite semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0041] As shown, in step S1, a substrate 10 is provided, and subsequent processes integrate a flash memory 12, an input / output device 11, and an LDMOS device 13 on the same substrate 10. Among them, the substrate 10 can be any suitable substrate material known in the art. For example, it can be at least one of the materials mentioned below: silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), silicon germanium (SiGe), silicon carbide (SiC), silicon germanium carbide (SiGeC), indium arsenide (InAs), gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium phosphide (InP), or other III / V compound semiconductors, and also includes multi-layer structures composed of these semiconductors, etc., or is silicon on insulator (SOI), silicon-on-insulator stacked silicon (SSOI), silicon germanium-on-insulator stacked silicon (S-SiGeOI), silicon germanium-on-insulator (SiGeOI), and germanium-on-insulator (GeOI), or can also be a double-sided polished silicon wafer. Exemplarily, the substrate in this embodiment is a silicon wafer.

[0042] Step S2, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the first N-type ion doping is synchronously performed on the high-voltage N-well region (HV N-Well) of the flash memory 12 and the first doping region N1 of the LDMOS device 13. Exemplarily, the first N-type ion doping is formed by three N-type ion implantations with different energies to form an inverted doped well. The energy ranges of the three times are 200 Kev to 300 Kev, 300 Kev to 400 Kev, and 650 Kev to 750 Kev respectively. The first N-type ion implantation dose is 3E12 / cm 2 ~7E12 / cm 2 . The high-voltage N-well region (HV N-Well) of the flash memory 12 and the first doping region N1 of the LDMOS device 13 share the same photomask and the same ion doping process, reducing the cost of one photomask and the ion doping process.

[0043] The first N-type ion doping is performed on the high-voltage N-well region (HV N-Well) of the high-voltage CMOS devices used in at least one of the signal amplification circuit, address selection circuit, charge pump circuit, and encoding and decoding circuit in the peripheral units of the flash memory 12. The previous step or the subsequent step of performing the first N-type ion doping is: performing P-type ion doping on the high-voltage P-well region (HV P-Well) of the flash memory 12.

[0044] Step S3, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the second N-type ion doping is synchronously performed on the N-well region (N-Well) of the input / output device 11 and the second doping region N2 of the LDMOS device. Exemplarily, the second N-type ion doping is formed by three N-type ion implantations with different energies, and the three energy ranges are 200 Kev to 300 Kev, 400 Kev to 500 Kev, and 750 Kev to 850 Kev respectively. The second N-type ion implantation dose is 1E12 / cm 2 ~4E12 / cm 2 . The N-well region (N-Well) of the input / output device 11 and the second doping region N2 of the LDMOS device share the same mask and the same ion doping process, reducing the cost of one mask and the ion doping process.

[0045] The input / output device 11 is a CMOS device, and the drain voltage of the CMOS device is 5V. The previous step or the subsequent step of performing the second N-type ion doping can be: performing P-type ion doping on the P-well region (P-Well) of the input / output device 11.

[0046] Step S4, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the third N-type ion doping is performed on the third doping region N3 of the LDMOS device 13. Exemplarily, the third N-type ion doping is formed by three N-type ion implantations with different energies, and the three energy ranges are 50 Kev to 90 Kev, 200 Kev to 300 Kev, and 500 Kev to 550 Kev respectively. The third N-type ion implantation dose is 1E12 / cm 2 ~5E12 / cm 2 .

[0047] Figure 6 is Figure 4 a partial dimension schematic diagram of the LDMOS device in Figure 6As shown, taking the case where the lateral width dimension of the drift region of the 50V switching LDMOS is 4.7 μm as an example, there are sufficient critical dimensions to synchronously perform the first N-type ion doping on the high-voltage N-well region of the flash memory 12 and the first doped region N1 of the LDMOS device 13. The second N-type ion doping is synchronously performed on the N-well region 11 of the input / output device and the second doped region N2 of the LDMOS device. The N-type ion-doped region N+ in the upper region of the drift region is the drain. The abscissa of the left boundary of the drain is defined as 0, and the abscissa at the junction of the right side of the drain and the shallow trench isolation (i.e., STI2) 133 is X1. The abscissa of the right boundary of the third doped region N3 is X2. X2 is determined by the voltage requirements of the LDMOS. For a 50V switching LDMOS, it is usually between 3.5 μm and 6.5 μm. The abscissa interval of the first doped region N1 is [0.2, X1]; the range of the abscissa of the right boundary of the second doped region N2 is [X1 + 0.2 μm, X2 - 0.4 μm].

[0048] The first doped region N1, the second doped region N2, and the third doped region N3 together constitute the drift region 131 of the LDMOS device. In the LDMOS device 13, the N-type ion-doped region N+ in the upper region of the P-type body region 132 is the source, and the N-type ion-doped region N+ in the upper region of the drift region 131 is the drain. The concentration gradient of the drift region 131 from the drain to the source of the LDMOS device 13 decreases, realizing lateral variable doping. As Figure 4 and Figure 7 shown, the laterally variably doped drift region 131 of the present invention adopts a form of doping that changes with the length. A mask template with a series of different width windows is used for ion implantation, and then a high-temperature annealing is utilized to obtain a drift region 131 with a gradually changing impurity concentration. Since a new electric field peak is introduced at the junction of the concentration partitions, the electric field of the drift region is optimized, and the breakdown voltage of the LDMOS device 13 is improved.

[0049] As Figure 5 shown, in the LDMOS device 13 part, an N-type buried layer NBL and a P-type epitaxial layer P-epi are sequentially formed on the substrate 10. A drift region 131 and a P-type body region 132 are formed in the upper region of the P-type epitaxial layer P-epi. A shallow trench isolation (i.e., STI2) 133 is formed on the side of the drift region 131 away from the P-type body region 132, and a shallow trench isolation 133 is also formed in the upper region inside the drift region 131. A polysilicon layer 134 is formed above the substrate 10, and the polysilicon layer 134 serves as the gate of the LDMOS device 13.

[0050] The lateral variable-doping LDMOS realizes a gradient reduction in the concentration of the drain-to-source drift region through three ion implantations to achieve an overall increase in concentration, effectively reducing the on-resistance, and at the same time can effectively improve the breakdown voltage of the device. The composite semiconductor device of the present invention adopts a flash memory combined with a BCD process platform, and integrates an LDMOS device part, a flash memory part, and an input / output device part on the same substrate. The N-well implantation of the flash high-voltage CMOS structure and the 5V input / output device is close to the implantation conditions of the drift region in terms of both implantation depth and doping concentration. N1 / N2 / N3 is not fixed according to Figure 7 the combination, and only requires meeting the gradient reduction in the concentration of the drain-to-source drift region.

[0051] The present invention also provides a composite semiconductor device, including:

[0052] a substrate 10, on which a flash memory 12, an input / output device 11, and an LDMOS device 13 are integrated;

[0053] The N-type ion doping concentration of the high-voltage N-well region of the flash memory is the same as that of the first doping region N1 of the LDMOS device 13;

[0055] The third doping region N3 of the LDMOS device is doped with N-type ions; wherein, the first doping region N1, the second doping region N2, and the third doping region N3 together form the drift region 131 of the LDMOS device, and the concentration gradient from the drain to the source of the LDMOS device decreases.

[0056] The input / output device 11 is a CMOS device, and the drain terminal voltage of the CMOS device is 5V. The high-voltage N-well region is the N-well region in the high-voltage CMOS device used in at least one of the signal amplification circuit, the address selection circuit, the charge pump circuit, and the encoding and decoding circuit in the peripheral unit of the flash memory 12.

[0057] In summary, the present invention provides a compound semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same, including: providing a substrate for integrating a flash memory, input / output devices, and an LDMOS device; synchronously performing first N-type ion doping on the high-voltage N-well region of the flash memory and the first doping region of the LDMOS device; synchronously performing second N-type ion doping on the N-well region of the input / output devices and the second doping region of the LDMOS device; performing third N-type ion doping on the third doping region of the LDMOS device; wherein the first doping region, the second doping region, and the third doping region together form the drift region of the LDMOS device, and the concentration gradient of the drift region from the drain to the source of the LDMOS device decreases. The overall concentration of the LDMOS device is increased, effectively reducing the on-resistance, improving the breakdown voltage of the device, while reducing the mask cost and reducing the number of ion doping process steps.
