Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and more specifically to an ESD device with an LDMOSFET structure, its manufacturing method, and a chip. Background Technology
[0002] ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) refers to the charge transfer caused by objects with different electrostatic potentials approaching or coming into direct contact. When static charge accumulated in the external environment or inside an IC (integrated circuit) chip flows into or out through the chip's pins, the instantaneous ESD current can damage the thick gate oxide and metal lines of the internal components, leading to device failure. With the continuous improvement of VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) process technology, Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuits have entered the ultra-deep submicron stage. The size of MOS devices is constantly shrinking, and the harm of electrostatic discharge (ESD) to integrated circuits is becoming increasingly significant, necessitating ESD protection design for integrated circuits.
[0003] Existing technologies use ESD circuits to protect integrated circuits from electrostatic discharge. Figure 1 This is an RC-type ESD protection circuit employing gate coupling technology. By continuously adjusting the values of capacitor Cn and resistor Rn, a suitable voltage can be coupled to the gate of the NMOS device Mn1 under high ESD stress, thereby reducing the turn-on voltage of the NMOS and achieving electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. For NMOS and PMOS devices, a high bias voltage coupled to the gate will cause more channel current and a higher electric field, making the thin gate oxide layer more susceptible to damage, and rapidly reducing the robustness of ESD protection. However, in power management chips in the power field, the voltage during ESD discharge can reach several thousand volts or even tens of thousands of volts, making it difficult for this type of ESD circuit to achieve high-voltage ESD protection. Furthermore, this ESD circuit connects capacitors and resistors externally to the NMOS or PMOS device, resulting in a large area occupied by the ESD circuit, which is detrimental to chip miniaturization and integration.

[0066] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the ESD device with an LDMOSFET structure provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2As shown, the ESD device with an LDMOSFET structure provided in this embodiment includes: a substrate 10, a body region 11, a drift region 12, a source region 13, a drain region 14, and a gate structure. The body region 11, the drift region 12, and the gate structure are formed in the substrate 10. The source region 13 is embedded inside the body region 11, and the drain region 14 is embedded inside the drift region 12. The source region 13 is connected to the source metal layer 22, and the drain region 14 is connected to the drain metal layer 23. The gate structure includes a polysilicon gate 18, a polysilicon resistor 17, a metal silicide layer 19, a field oxide layer 16, and a gate oxide layer 15. The gate oxide layer 15 is formed on the surface of the body region 11 and the drift region 12. The polysilicon gate 18, the polysilicon resistor 17, and the field oxide layer 16 are formed on the surface of the gate oxide layer 15. The polysilicon gate 18 is connected to the polysilicon resistor 17, and the polysilicon resistor 17 is connected to the source metal layer 22. A metal silicide layer 19 is formed on the surface of the polysilicon gate 18 and is connected to the polysilicon resistor 17. The polysilicon gate 18 forms a conductive channel with the polysilicon resistor 17 through the metal silicide layer 19. A field oxide layer 16 is formed on the side and bottom of the polysilicon gate 18 and is connected to the drain region 14. The polysilicon gate 18 and the drain region 14 serve as the two plates of a capacitor, and the field oxide layer 16 serves as the dielectric layer between the two plates. The polysilicon gate 18, the field oxide layer 16, and the drain region 14 constitute a capacitor structure. At the same time, the polysilicon gate 18 and the field oxide layer 16 constitute a field plate structure. With the source metal layer 22 grounded and the drain metal layer 23 serving as the input terminal, the above-described LDMOSFET structure is equivalent to an RC-type ESD protection circuit.
[0067] In this embodiment, one end of the polysilicon resistor 17 is connected to the source metal layer 22, and the other end of the polysilicon resistor 17 is connected to the polysilicon gate 18 and the metal silicide layer 19. When the polysilicon resistor 17 is connected in series with the capacitor structure, a large on-resistance will be formed inside the device due to the large resistance between the polysilicon gate 18 and the polysilicon resistor 17. Therefore, a metal silicide layer 19 is added to one end of the polysilicon resistor 17. The polysilicon gate 18 forms a conductive channel with the polysilicon resistor 17 through the metal silicide layer 19. The metal silicide layer 19 reduces the resistance between the polysilicon resistor 17 and the polysilicon gate 18, thereby increasing the conduction effect.
[0068] In this embodiment, the polysilicon gate 18 is made of heavily doped polysilicon, and the doping concentration of ions in the heavily doped polysilicon is 1×10⁻⁶. 20 cm -3 ~1×10 21 cm -3 The polycrystalline silicon resistor 17 is made of lightly doped polycrystalline silicon, with a doping concentration of 1 × 10⁻⁶ ions. 16 cm -3 ~1×10 18 cm-3 .
[0069] In this embodiment, the source region 13 includes a lateral extension region 13a that extends below the polysilicon resistor 17. The drain region 14 includes a lateral extension region 14a that extends below the field oxide layer 16. This embodiment provides lateral extension regions on opposite sides of the embedded source region 13 and drain region 14, which can shorten the conductive channel between the source region 13 and drain region 14 and enhance the device's conductivity.
[0070] In this embodiment, the field oxide layer 16 includes a lateral region (field oxide layer body) and a vertical region. The vertical region 16a of the field oxide layer is located between the polysilicon gate 18 and the drain region 14, serving as a dielectric layer between the polysilicon gate 18 and the drain region 14, thereby forming a capacitor structure.
[0071] In this embodiment, a contact terminal 20 is formed on the surface of the body region 11, and the body region 11 is connected to the source metal layer 22 through the contact terminal 20. An isolation oxide layer 21 is formed on the surface of the metal silicide layer 19, part of the surface of the body region 11 and the drift region 12, and the isolation oxide layer 21 isolates the source metal layer 22 from the drain metal layer 23.
[0072] This invention adds a polysilicon resistor within the embedded region and a capacitor structure consisting of a polysilicon gate, a field oxide layer, and a drain region to the LDMOSFET structure. The polysilicon resistor is connected in series with the capacitor structure through a metal silicide layer, forming a high-voltage ESD device equivalent to an RC-type ESD protection circuit. This eliminates the need to add resistors and capacitors externally to the MOS device, thus reducing the area of the ESD device. This invention also reduces the on-resistance between the polysilicon resistor and the polysilicon gate through the metal silicide layer, and simultaneously improves the breakdown voltage using the field plate structure formed by the polysilicon gate and the field oxide layer, thereby enhancing the high-voltage protection capability of the ESD device.
[0073] The present invention also provides a method for manufacturing an ESD device with the above-described LDMOSFET structure, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0074] S301, forming a bulk region and a drift region in the substrate;
[0075] S302, a source region is formed inside the body region, and a drain region is formed inside the drift region;
[0076] S303 forms trenches inside the bulk region and drift region, and forms a field oxide layer at the bottom of the trenches;
[0077] S304, forming a polysilicon gate and a polysilicon resistor within the trench;
[0078] S305, a metal silicide layer is formed on the surface of the polysilicon gate;
[0079] S306, forming a source metal layer connected to the source region and a drain metal layer connected to the drain region.
[0080] In one specific embodiment, in step S301 above, a P-type silicon substrate 10 is selected, and P-type ion implantation and N-type ion implantation are performed on the surface of the P-type silicon substrate 10, respectively, followed by high-temperature propagation to form a structure as shown in the figure. Figure 4a The P-type body region 11 and N-type drift region 12 are shown.
[0081] In one specific embodiment, in step S302 above, a thin layer of SiO2 is formed by thermal oxidation on the surface of the substrate 10. Photolithography is then performed on the surfaces of the P-type body region 11 and the N-type drift region 12 to form ion implantation windows. N-type ions are implanted into these windows (the ion implantation depth extends to near the bottom of the P-type body region and the N-type drift region), followed by annealing. This forms a source region 13 inside the P-type body region 11 and a drain region 14 inside the N-type drift region 12. Simultaneously, P-type ions can also be implanted into another ion implantation window of the P-type body region 11 to form a P+ contact terminal 20 on the surface of the P-type body region 11, forming a... Figure 4b The structure shown.
[0082] In one specific embodiment, in step S303 above, photolithography is performed on the surface of the P-type body region 11 and the surface of the N-type drift region 12, and a dry etching method is used to etch the P-type body region 11 and the N-type drift region 12. The etching depth does not exceed the depth of the source region 13 and the drain region 14, forming a shape as shown in the figure. Figure 4c The groove shown.
[0083] Then, the SiO2 on the surface of the P-type body region 11 and the N-type drift region 12 is removed by wet etching. A thin layer of SiO2 is formed by thermal oxidation in the trench as the gate oxide layer 15. A thicker layer of SiO2 is deposited on the surface of the gate oxide layer 15 at the bottom of the trench and on the sidewalls of the trench, and then dry etching is performed to form a layer as shown in the figure. Figure 4d The field oxide layer 16 is shown. The field oxide layer 16 includes a lateral region and a vertical region. The vertical region 16a of the field oxide layer is connected to the drain region 14 and serves as the dielectric layer of the capacitor structure.
[0084] In one specific embodiment, in step S304 above, a first-doped polysilicon layer is then deposited in the trench using a low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) method, wherein the concentration of the first doping is 1×10⁻⁶. 16 cm -3 ~1×10 18 cm -3At this point, the doping concentration of the polycrystalline silicon layer is low, and its resistance is high. As a polycrystalline silicon resistor 17, it forms a structure like... Figure 4e The structure is shown. Next, the portion of the polysilicon layer near the drain region 14 is subjected to secondary doping. The secondary-doped polysilicon serves as the polysilicon gate 18, and the undoped polysilicon serves as the polysilicon resistor 17. The concentration of secondary doping is 1×10⁻⁶. 20 cm -3 ~1×10 21 cm -3 , forming as Figure 4f The structure is shown. At this point, one side of the polysilicon gate 18 is connected to the polysilicon resistor 17, and the other side and bottom of the polysilicon gate 18 are connected to the field oxide layer 16. This step can form the polysilicon resistor and polysilicon gate using only one polysilicon photolithography process (existing technologies typically require two photolithography processes). The polysilicon gate also serves as a capacitor electrode, simplifying the process and reducing the gate's footprint.
[0085] In one specific embodiment, in step S305 above, a thin layer of silicon dioxide (SiO2) is formed on the substrate 10 containing the polysilicon gate 18 and the polysilicon resistor 17 as a barrier layer for the silicide region. Dry etching is then performed on the silicon dioxide to open the silicide region. Metal (such as Ti, Co, Ni, etc.) is deposited on the surface of the barrier layer, and rapid thermal processing (RTP) is performed to form metal silicides. Then, wet etching is used to remove unreacted metal from the surface of the barrier layer, forming a metal silicide. Figure 4g The metal silicide layer 19 is shown. At this time, the metal silicide layer 19 is connected to one end of the polysilicon resistor 17.
[0086] In one specific embodiment, in step S306 above, an isolation oxide layer (e.g., SiO2) is formed above the body region 11, drift region 12, polysilicon gate 18, and polysilicon resistor 17. The isolation oxide layer is then etched to form multiple contact holes. Simultaneously, a high SiO2 / Si etching selectivity process condition is used to over-etch away the SiO2 between the source region 13 and the polysilicon resistor 17, forming a... Figure 4h The isolation oxide layer 21 is shown.
[0087] Next, a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process is used to deposit metal within the contact holes to form a metal layer. This metal layer is then etched to create a surface resembling... Figure 4i The source metal layer 22 and drain metal layer 23 shown are used to obtain an ESD device with an LDMOSFET structure.
[0088] The present invention also provides a chip that includes an ESD device with the above-described LDMOSFET structure, thereby achieving electrostatic protection for the integrated circuit in the chip.
