[0034] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings. However, the invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.

[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0036] It should be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as "on," "adjacent to," "connected to," or "coupled to" other elements or layers, it may be directly on, adjacent to, connected to, or coupled to other elements or layers, or there may be intervening elements or layers. Conversely, when an element is referred to as "directly on," "directly adjacent to," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" other elements or layers, there are no intervening elements or layers. It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used to describe various elements, components, areas, layers, and / or portions, these elements, components, areas, layers, and / or portions should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, area, layer, or portion from another element, component, area, layer, or portion. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of this invention, the first element, component, area, layer, or portion discussed below may be referred to as the second element, component, area, layer, or portion.

[0037] Spatial relation terms such as “below,” “under,” “below,” “under,” “above,” “above,” etc., are used herein for convenience of description to describe the relationship between one element or feature shown in the figure and other elements or features. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientation shown in the figure, spatial relation terms are intended to also include different orientations of the device in use and operation. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, then the element or feature described as “below” or “under” the other element or feature will be oriented “above” the other element or feature. Therefore, the exemplary terms “below” and “under” can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or otherwise) and the spatial descriptive terms used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0038] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. When used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms “comprising” and / or “including,” when used in this specification, identify the presence of said features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups. When used herein, the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of the associated listed items.

[0039] Embodiments of the invention are described herein with reference to cross-sectional views that serve as schematic diagrams of ideal embodiments (and intermediate structures). Thus, variations in the shape shown can be anticipated due to, for example, manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances. Therefore, embodiments of the invention should not be limited to the specific shapes of the regions shown herein, but include shape deviations due to, for example, manufacturing processes. For example, implantation regions shown as rectangular typically have rounded or curved features at their edges and / or implantation concentration gradients, rather than a binary change from implantation regions to non-implantation regions. Similarly, the buried regions formed by implantation can result in some implantation in the region between the buried region and the surface traversed during implantation. Therefore, the regions shown in the figures are substantially schematic, and their shapes are not intended to show the actual shapes of the regions of the device and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0040] The semiconductor terminology used in this article is the technical terminology commonly used by those skilled in the art. For example, for P-type and N-type impurities, in order to distinguish the doping concentration, P+ type represents heavily doped P-type, P type represents moderately doped P-type, P- type represents lightly doped P-type, N+ type represents heavily doped N-type, N type represents moderately doped N-type, and N- type represents lightly doped N-type.

[0041] Research has revealed that in SOI LDMOS, the LDMOS transistor formed on the buried oxide layer constitutes a capacitor relative to the underlying silicon layer. Charge accumulates on this capacitor, resulting in a floating body effect. Taking N-channel LDMOS as an example, the specific mechanism is as follows: the strong electric field at the drain accelerates channel electrons. After gaining sufficient energy, these accelerated electrons undergo collisional ionization, generating new electron-hole pairs. These new electron-hole pairs separate under the influence of the electric field; electrons are collected at the drain, while holes accumulate in the buried oxide layer near the source. As the number of accumulated holes increases, the local body potential also rises, causing a decrease in the gate turn-on voltage at that location, resulting in a sudden increase in the drain output current. Furthermore, the increase in body potential lowers the source-drain breakdown voltage of the LDMOS.

[0042] This application proposes a semiconductor device capable of drawing the potential of a substrate to the device surface, thereby eliminating the floating body effect.

The second insulating isolation structure 119 is located on the side of the transistor structure 100 and extends downward to the buried dielectric layer 102.

[0043] The aforementioned semiconductor device uses a conductive structure 110 to bring the potential of the bottom semiconductor layer 101 to the upper surface of the semiconductor device, thereby eliminating the effects of the floating body effect. Furthermore, a first insulating isolation structure 109 located on the side of the transistor structure 100 surrounds the conductive structure 110, reducing the impact of the conductive structure 110 on the isolation effect and ensuring the device's withstand voltage (reverse breakdown voltage).

These second insulating isolation structures 119 may be disposed on both sides of an adjacent first insulating isolation structure 109, or they may be disposed on only one side of an adjacent first insulating isolation structure 109.

In other embodiments, the semiconductor device can also be a P-channel device, with P-type as the first conductivity type and N-type as the second conductivity type. For an N-channel SOI LDMOS, during operation, the bottom semiconductor layer 101 is connected to a lower potential than the drain region 106 via the conductive structure 110. When the drain region 106 is connected to a high level, the bottom semiconductor layer 101 is connected to a low level. For a P-channel SOI LDMOS, during operation, the bottom semiconductor layer 101 is connected to a higher potential than the drain region 106 via the conductive structure 110. When the drain region 106 is connected to a low level, the bottom semiconductor layer 101 is connected to a high level.

The second conductivity type well region 104 is connected to the drift region 103, and the source region 117 is located in the second conductivity type well region 104. The field oxide layer 114 is located on the drift region 103, and the gate 118 extends from the edge of the source region 117 to the field oxide layer 114. In one embodiment of this application, the gate 118 extends above the source region 117 or to the edge of the source region 117, that is, it overlaps with or is tangential to the edge of the source region 117, to ensure that the surface of the second conductivity type well region 104 between the source region 117 and the drift region 103 is inverted, thus ensuring the continuity of the conductive channel. The second conductivity type well region 104 is the channel formation region of the device, and its concentration will also affect the depletion of the drift region and the on-state voltage. The first conductivity type well region 105 serves as a drain drift region buffer layer to improve the on-state breakdown voltage of the device during forward operation.

[0052] In other embodiments of this application, the conductivity type of the bottom lead-out region 111 may be opposite to that of the bottom semiconductor layer 101. Furthermore, by setting the doping concentration of the bottom lead-out region 111 to a higher concentration, a Schottky contact is formed between the bottom lead-out region 111 and the conductive structure 110, thereby forming a Schottky diode between the bottom lead-out region 111 and the bottom semiconductor layer 101, achieving the integration of SOI LDMOS and a Schottky diode. For example, the bottom semiconductor layer 101 can be an N-type substrate, and the bottom lead-out region 111 can be a higher concentration P-type region.

[0065] S220, etch the first deep groove and the second deep groove.

[0066] Figure 3 This is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of the device structure near the first and second deep trenches after step S220 is completed in one embodiment of this application. In one embodiment of this application, after planarization (CMP) of the interlayer dielectric layer 115, an etching mask is formed on the interlayer dielectric layer 115 by photolithography. Figure 3 (not shown in the image), and then etch to form a first deep trench 121 and a second deep trench 122 that penetrate the interlayer dielectric layer 115 and the top semiconductor layer.

[0067] exist Figure 3In the embodiment shown, the interlayer dielectric layer 115 and the insulating structure 124 are first etched through, and then the top semiconductor layer is etched downwards so that the bottom of the first deep trench 121 and the second deep trench 122 reaches the buried dielectric layer 102.

[0068] S230, a first insulating isolation structure is formed on the sidewall of the first deep groove, and a second insulating isolation structure is formed in the second deep groove.

[0069] The structure after step S230 is completed can be referred to Figure 4 In one embodiment of this application, a first insulating isolation structure 109 and a second insulating isolation structure 119 are formed by depositing an insulating material on the wafer surface. Specifically, silicon dioxide can be deposited on the wafer surface using chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, the width of the first deep groove 121 is greater than the width of the second deep groove 122. Therefore, even if the thickness of the deposited insulating material is sufficient to fill the second deep groove 122, the insulating material formed on the inner wall of the first deep groove 121 only occupies a portion of the first deep groove 121.

[0070] S240, etch the bottom of the first deep trench down to the bottom semiconductor layer.

[0071] Etching can be performed directly without using an etching mask. The etchant will etch away the insulating material and buried dielectric layer 102 at the bottom of the first deep trench 121, exposing the bottom semiconductor layer 101, as shown in the figure. Figure 5 Since the second deep groove 122 was filled, only the insulating material at its top was etched away.

[0072] S250, fill the first deep trench with conductive material to form a conductive structure that draws out the potential of the bottom semiconductor layer.

[0073] In one embodiment of this application, Ti and / or TiN are first formed on the inner surface of the first deep trench 121, and then tungsten plugs are filled into the first deep trench 121. Ti and / or TiN serve as a buffer layer between the tungsten plugs and the material surrounding the first deep trench 121. After filling the tungsten plugs, the wafer surface is planarized (CMP) to remove excess tungsten plugs and other structures, resulting in the conductive structure 110.

[0074] In one embodiment of this application, after step S240 and before step S250, an ion implantation step is performed on the bottom semiconductor layer 101 at the bottom of the first deep trench 121 to form a bottom lead-out region 111. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 6 The structure after step S250 is completed can be referred to Figure 7 .

[0075] exist Figure 7In the embodiment shown, the bottom lead-out region 111 has the same conductivity type as the bottom semiconductor layer 101, and the doping concentration of the bottom lead-out region 111 is greater than that of the bottom semiconductor layer 101. The bottom lead-out region 111 is used to reduce the contact resistance between the conductive structure 110 and the bottom semiconductor layer 101.

[0076] In other embodiments of this application, the conductivity type of the bottom lead-out region 111 may be opposite to that of the bottom semiconductor layer 101. Furthermore, by setting the doping concentration of the bottom lead-out region 111 to a higher concentration, a Schottky contact is formed between the bottom lead-out region 111 and the conductive structure 110, thereby forming a Schottky diode between the bottom lead-out region 111 and the bottom semiconductor layer 101, achieving the integration of SOI LDMOS and a Schottky diode. For example, the bottom semiconductor layer 101 can be an N-type substrate, and the bottom lead-out region 111 can be a higher concentration P-type region.

[0077] The aforementioned semiconductor device manufacturing method utilizes a conductive structure 110 to bring the potential of the bottom semiconductor layer 101 to the upper surface of the semiconductor device, thereby eliminating the effects of the floating body effect. Furthermore, a first insulating isolation structure 109 disposed on the side of the transistor structure 100 surrounds the conductive structure 110, reducing the impact of the conductive structure 110 on the isolation effect and ensuring the device's withstand voltage (reverse breakdown voltage). On the other hand, a second insulating isolation structure 119 is provided to further enhance the isolation effect and further improve the device's withstand voltage.

[0079] S261, patterned interlayer dielectric layer, forming each contact hole.

[0080] In one embodiment of this application, photoresist is coated on the interlayer dielectric layer 115, and the photoresist is exposed using a contact hole photomask. After development, etching windows for each contact hole are formed. The interlayer dielectric layer 115 is etched through the etching windows to form each contact hole. Specifically, it may include source contact holes extending to the source region 117, body contact holes extending to the body lead-out region 116, gate contact holes extending to the gate 118, and drain contact holes extending to the drain region 106, etc.

Specifically, these may include a bottom silicon lead-out 112, a source lead-out 107, a drain lead-out 113, and a gate lead-out 108, etc. The device structure after step S265 can be found in [reference needed].
