The first polysilicon layer 8 also serves as a floating gate, and the second polysilicon layer 10 serves as a control gate. The first polysilicon layer 8, the second polysilicon layer 10, and the ONO dielectric layer 9 constitute a capacitor structure. The first polysilicon layer 8 and the ONO dielectric layer 9 can store charge and control the turn-on state of the LDMOSFET device.
[0029] Figure 2 The first oxide layer 9a, nitride layer 9b, and second oxide layer 9c of the ONO dielectric layer 9 are not labeled. Figure 2 For the specific structure of the ONO dielectric layer 9, please refer to Figure 1 To understand.
[0030] In this embodiment, the ONO dielectric layer 9 includes a first oxide layer 9a, a second oxide layer 9c, and a nitride layer 9b located between the first oxide layer 9a and the second oxide layer 9c. The first oxide layer 9a is formed on the surface of the first polysilicon layer 8, the nitride layer 9b is formed on the surface of the first oxide layer 9a, and the second oxide layer 9c is formed on the surface of the nitride layer 9b. The first oxide layer 9a and the second oxide layer 9c can be made of silicon dioxide, and the nitride layer 9b can be made of silicon nitride.
[0031] In this embodiment, the LDMOSFET device further includes a first shallow trench isolation structure 6 and a second shallow trench isolation structure 7. The first shallow trench isolation structure 6 is located at the junction of the drift region 4 and the well region 2, and the second shallow trench isolation structure 7 is located at the junction of the well region 2 and the substrate 1.
[0032] In this embodiment, the LDMOSFET device further includes a first contact terminal 13, a second contact terminal 14, and a third contact terminal 15. The first contact terminal 13 is formed on the surface of the body region 3 and is adjacent to the source region 11; the second contact terminal 14 is formed on the surface of the well region 2 and is located between the first shallow trench isolation structure 6 and the second shallow trench isolation structure 7; the third contact terminal 15 is formed on the surface of the substrate 1. The conductivity type (P-type) of the first contact terminal 13 is different from the conductivity type (N-type) of the second contact terminal 14, while the conductivity type (P-type) of the first contact terminal 13 is the same as the conductivity type (P-type) of the third contact terminal 15.
[0033] In this embodiment, the LDMOSFET device further includes a plurality of mutually isolated metal electrodes 17, which are respectively connected to the second polysilicon layer 10, the source region 11, the drain region 12, the first contact terminal 13, the second contact terminal 14, and the third contact terminal 15. The source region 11 and the first contact terminal 13 are connected to the same metal electrode 17, while the second polysilicon layer 10, the source region 11, the drain region 12, the second contact terminal 14, and the third contact terminal 15 are respectively connected to different metal electrodes 17. An isolation dielectric layer 16 separates adjacent metal electrodes 17, and the different metal electrodes 17 are isolated from each other by the isolation dielectric layer 16.
[0034] In the LDMOSFET device described in the above embodiment, when a high voltage is applied to the control gate relative to the substrate, electrons in the drift region are attracted and tunnel into the floating gate. Since the silicon nitride layer in the middle of the ONO dielectric layer can capture electrons, more electrons are attracted into the floating gate and stored therein. After the applied voltage is stopped, because the floating gate layer is wrapped by an insulating layer, the electrons in the floating gate layer remain stored there. The charge stored in the floating gate layer enables the LDMOSFET device to turn on. For example, when a high voltage is applied to the substrate relative to the gate, the electrons stored in the floating gate layer tunnel back to the substrate (drift region) under the influence of the electric field, at which point the LDMOSFET device is in the turned-on state.
[0035] The LDMOSFET device of this invention employs a capacitor structure with a first polysilicon layer, an ONO dielectric layer, and a second polysilicon layer as its gate. The first polysilicon layer acts as a floating gate, and the second polysilicon layer acts as a control gate. Since the ONO dielectric layer can trap charge, the trapped charge is easily attracted into and stored in the floating gate, allowing it to store more charge and thus control the LDMOSFET device's turn-on. Furthermore, the first polysilicon layer, acting as the floating gate, together with the ONO dielectric layer and the LOCOS isolation region, forms a field plate structure. Because the ONO dielectric layer (the intermediate silicon nitride layer) can trap charge, it further reduces the surface electric field of the device and increases its breakdown voltage. This LDMOSFET device integrates the functions of an LDMOS transistor and a memory, allowing for LDMOSFET turn-on control without an external gate control signal, making it suitable for applications without a power supply.
[0036] This invention also provides a method for manufacturing the LDMOSFET device described above. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the manufacturing method of the LDMOSFET device provided in this embodiment includes the following steps: S310 forms a well region, a bulk region, and a drift region in the substrate; S320 forms an isolation zone within the drift zone; S330, a first polysilicon layer serving as a floating gate is formed on the bulk region and the drift region; S340, an ONO dielectric layer is formed on the surface of the first polysilicon layer; S350, a second polysilicon layer serving as a control gate is formed on the surface of the ONO dielectric layer; S360 forms a source region on the surface of the in-body region and a drain region on the surface of the drift region.
[0037] The LDMOSFET device provided in this embodiment of the invention can be either an N-type LDMOSFET or a P-type LDMOSFET. When the LDMOSFET device is an N-type LDMOSFET, the first doping type is P-type and the second doping type is N-type; when the LDMOSFET device is a P-type LDMOSFET, the first doping type is N-type and the second doping type is P-type. The following describes the manufacturing method steps of the above-mentioned LDMOSFET device in detail, using an N-type LDMOSFET as an example.
[0038] In step S310 above, a substrate 1 is first provided. Substrate 1 is one of a silicon substrate, a silicon-germanium substrate, a silicon-on-insulator substrate, or a germanium-on-insulator substrate. In this embodiment, substrate 1 is a P-type silicon substrate. Then, a thin oxide layer is grown on the surface of substrate 1 to form a photoresist layer. The photoresist is exposed and developed to form an ion implantation window. N-type ion implantation is performed on the substrate 1 through the ion implantation window to remove the photoresist. Another layer of photoresist is formed on the surface of substrate 1, and the photoresist is exposed and developed to form an ion implantation window. N-type ion implantation is performed on the substrate 1 through the ion implantation window to remove the photoresist. Another layer of photoresist is formed on the surface of substrate 1, and the photoresist is exposed and developed to form an ion implantation window. P-type ion implantation is performed on the substrate 1 through the ion implantation window to remove the photoresist. High-temperature propulsion and wet removal of the oxide layer on the surface of substrate 1 are then performed to form a substrate 1 with a structure resembling a silicon substrate, silicon-germanium substrate, silicon-on-insulator substrate, or germanium-on-insulator substrate. Figure 4 The trap region 2, body region 3, and drift region 4 are shown.
[0039] In step S320 above, a shallow trench isolation (STI) structure is formed at the junction of drift region 4 and well region 2, and at the junction of well region 2 and substrate 1, using a shallow trench isolation process. Specifically, in Figure 4 A thin layer of silicon dioxide (SiO2) is oxidized again on the structure shown, followed by vapor deposition of silicon nitride (Si3N4). Photolithography is then performed, and the silicon nitride and silicon dioxide are dry-etched. The substrate 1 is dry-etched, forming a trench of the first shallow trench isolation structure 6 at the boundary between the drift region 4 and the well region 2, and a trench of the second shallow trench isolation structure 7 at the boundary between the well region 2 and the substrate 1. The trench of the second shallow trench isolation structure 7 is adjacent to the well region 2. Silicon dioxide is deposited within the trenches, followed by high-temperature annealing, chemical mechanical polishing to remove the surface silicon dioxide dielectric, and wet removal of the silicon nitride and silicon dioxide from the surface of the substrate 1, forming the structure shown. Figure 5 The first shallow trench isolation structure 6 and the second shallow trench isolation structure 7 are shown.
[0040] Next, a LOCOS isolation region 5 is fabricated within drift region 4 using a localized silicon oxidation (LOCOS) process, serving as the isolation oxide layer for the field plate. Specifically, in... Figure 5 The structure shown is formed by thermally oxidizing a thin layer of silicon dioxide, depositing a layer of silicon nitride on the silicon dioxide using low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), forming a photoresist layer on the silicon nitride, exposing and developing the photoresist to form etching windows, and sequentially performing dry etching on the silicon nitride and silicon dioxide through these etching windows to expose a portion of the substrate 1. Then, thermal oxidation is performed, followed by wet removal of the silicon nitride to form the structure shown. Figure 6 The LOCOS isolation zone 5 is shown.
[0041] In step S330 above, a gate oxide layer is formed on the surface of the body region 3 and the drift region 4. N-type heavily doped polysilicon is deposited on the surface of the gate oxide layer, and a surface planarization process is performed to make the surface of the deposited polysilicon flush with the top surface of the isolation region 5. Dry etching is then performed on the deposited polysilicon to form a first polysilicon layer 8. One end of the first polysilicon layer 8 is connected to the LOCOS isolation region 5, and the first polysilicon layer 8 and the LOCOS isolation region 5 constitute a field plate structure. Specifically, in... Figure 6 The surface of the structure shown is subjected to thermal oxidation to form a thin oxide layer. The oxide layers on the surfaces of body region 3 and drift region 4 serve as gate oxide layers. Next, a layer of heavily doped N-type polysilicon is deposited using low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), followed by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) to remove excess polysilicon down to the height of the LOCOS isolation region 5. Finally, the heavily doped N-type polysilicon is dry etched to form the structure shown. Figure 7 The first polycrystalline silicon layer 8 is shown.
[0042] In step S340 above, Figure 7 The surface of the structure shown is subjected to thermal oxidation treatment to form a thin layer of silicon dioxide (SiO2) as the first oxide layer 9a. A thin layer of silicon nitride (Si3N4) is deposited on the surface of the first oxide layer 9a using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or atomic layer deposition (ALD) to form a nitride layer 9b. A thin layer of silicon dioxide (SiO2) is then deposited on the surface of the nitride layer 9b to form the second oxide layer 9c. The first oxide layer 9a, the nitride layer 9b, and the second oxide layer 9c constitute the ONO dielectric layer 9, forming a structure as shown... Figure 8 The structure shown is as follows. Since the ONO dielectric layer needs to be thin enough to obtain a better capacitive coupling effect, atomic layer deposition (ALD) is used to deposit silicon dioxide (SiO2) and silicon nitride (Si3N4) to obtain a thin ONO dielectric layer with better uniformity.
[0043] In step S350 above, as follows Figure 8 The structure shown is formed by depositing an N-type heavily doped polysilicon layer 10 on the surface of the second oxide layer 9c using low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD). Then, the second polysilicon layer 10 and the ONO dielectric layer 9 are dry etched, so that one end of the etched ONO dielectric layer 9 is connected to the LOCOS isolation region 5, and the other end is connected to the body region 3, forming a structure as shown. Figure 9 The gate structure shown.
[0044] In step S360 above, photolithography is performed on the surfaces of the body region 3 and the drift region 4 to form region patterns. N-type ions are then implanted into the region patterns of the body region 3 and the drift region 4 to form the source region 11 and the drain region 12, respectively. During this process, P-type ions can also be implanted simultaneously in the region of the body region 3 adjacent to the source region 11 to form a first contact terminal 13, N-type ions can be implanted on the surface of the well region 2 to form a second contact terminal 14, and P-type ions can be implanted on the surface of the substrate 1 to form a third contact terminal 15, forming a... Figure 10 The structure shown.
[0045] Finally, on the surface of the substrate 1 where the gate structure, source region 11, and drain region 12 are formed ( Figure 10 Silicon dioxide is deposited on the surface of the structure shown to form an isolation dielectric layer 16. The isolation dielectric layer 16 is then dry-etched to form contact holes. Next, physical vapor deposition (PVD) is used to deposit metal inside and on the surface of the contact holes.
