[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be described clearly and completely in the following description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments only represent some of the embodiments of the application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those ordinary skilled in the field without any creative effort fall within the protection scope of the application.

[0032] 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 application belongs. The terminology used in the description herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0033] It will be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being "on" or "connected to" or "coupled to" another element or layer, it can be directly on, connected or coupled to the other element or layer or intervening elements or layers can be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on," "directly connected to," or "directly coupled to" another element or layer, there are no intervening elements or layers present. It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third, etc. can be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another element, component, region, layer or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings of the present application.

[0034] Spatially relative terms, such as "beneath", "below", "lower", "under", "above", "upper" and the like, can be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as "below" or "beneath" other elements or features would then be oriented "above" or "over" the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device can be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.

[0035] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and / or "comprising," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0036] Embodiments of the application are described herein with reference to cross-sectional illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized embodiments (and intermediate structures) of the application. As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, embodiments of the application should not be construed as limited to the particular shapes of regions illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, an implanted region illustrated as a rectangle will, typically, have rounded or curved features and / or a gradient of implant concentration at its edges rather than a binary change between implanted and non-implanted regions. Similarly, a buried region formed by implantation can result in some implantation in a region between the buried region and a surface through which the implant was performed. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the precise shape of a region of a device and are not intended to limit the scope of the application.

[0037] The substrate termination and Ntop structure proposed by the Qiao Ming group of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China on the basis of the T-RESURF structure solves the terminal withstand voltage and low specific on-resistance problems of the interdigital structure, and Ntop is an N-type doped region close to the top of the drift region. However, the interdigital structure avoids high-voltage cross-line, but the terminal area of the source package leakage is too large and the isolation is inconvenient. The conventional Ntop structure is only assisted by Pbury (P-type buried layer) for depletion, and the doping concentration of Ntop is difficult to further improve, so the on-resistance is limited. At present, there is no suitable technology to increase the surface concentration of the drift region in addition to Ntop. Although the surface super-junction can improve the doping concentration, the requirement for charge balance is too harsh. In the special lateral integrated device, under the condition of high-energy implantation Gaussian distribution and substrate assisted depletion effect, there is no suitable solution to increase the surface concentration of the drift region.

[0038] The present application provides an innovative lateral device with RESURF structure using field plate to assist the depletion of Ntop. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a lateral device in an embodiment of the present application, which includes a source region 134, a drain region 132, a drift region 110, a buried region of second conductivity type 112, a top doping 120, a field oxide layer 150, and a field plate 140. The source region 134, the drain region 132, and the drift region 110 have a first conductivity type. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the first conductivity type is N-type, and the second conductivity type is P-type. Therefore, the buried region of second conductivity type 112 is a P-bury in the N-type drift region 110, and the top doping 120 is Ntop. In other embodiments, the first conductivity type can be P-type, and the second conductivity type can be N-type.

[0039] The drift region 110 is located at least partially between the source region 134 and the drain region 132. The buried region of second conductivity type 112 is located in the drift region 110 between the source region 134 and the drain region 132. The field oxide layer 150 is located on the drift region 110. The top doping 120 is located in the drift region 110 above the buried region of second conductivity type 112 and below the field oxide layer 150, and the top doping 120 includes at least one layer of first conductivity type doping layer. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the top doping 120 includes two layers of first conductivity type doping layer, i.e., N-type layer 122 and N-type layer 124. The doping concentration of the first conductivity type doping layer is greater than the doping concentration of the drift region 110. The field plate 140 is located on the field oxide layer 150 to assist the depletion of the top doping 120.

[0040] The above-mentioned lateral device uses the field plate 140 to assist the depletion of the first conductivity type doping layer above the buried region of second conductivity type 112. Therefore, the first conductivity type doping layer can have a higher doping concentration, thereby further reducing the on-resistance of the device.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present application, the top doping 120 includes at least two layers of first conductivity type doping layer with different junction depths, i.e., one layer of first conductivity type doping layer is located above another layer of first conductivity type doping layer, and these layers of first conductivity type doping layer are arranged from top to bottom in the drift region 110 above the buried region of second conductivity type 112. The doping concentration of the top layer of first conductivity type doping layer in the top doping 120 is greater than the doping concentration of the remaining first conductivity type doping layers, for example, the doping concentration of the N-type layer 122 is greater than the doping concentration of the N-type layer 124 in FIG. 1, and the adjacent first conductivity type doping layers are separated by a portion of the drift region 110. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the top surface of the top layer of first conductivity type doping layer, i.e., the N-type layer 122, in the top doping 120 directly contacts the bottom surface of the field oxide layer 150. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the doping concentration of the N-type layer 122 is 1e15-5e17 / cm3, and the doping concentration of the N-type layer 124 is 1e15-5e17 / cm3. 3The implant dose of the N-type ion implantation forming the N-type layer 122 is 0.5e12-3e12 / cm 2 Since the present application uses the field plate 140 to assist in depleting the N-type layer 122, the doping concentration of the N-type layer 122 can be increased by 2-3 times compared with the conventional Ntop, thereby making the device obtain a lower on-resistance.

[0042] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the field plate 140 is a floating field plate, i.e., a field plate not connected with an electrode. In one embodiment of the present application, the floating field plate is a floating polysilicon field plate; in other embodiments, the floating field plate can also be made of other materials.

[0043] FIG. 2 is a partial layout of the field plate 140 in one embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the field plate 140 includes an outer ring 242, a plurality of ring structures 244 inside the outer ring 242, and a plurality of strip-shaped portions 246, each of which is located between two adjacent ring structures 244. The ring width of the outer ring 242 is greater than the strip width of each ring structure 244 and the strip width of each strip-shaped portion 246. Since the field plate 140 shown in FIG. 2 is an axisymmetric pattern, it is symmetric about the left-right direction and the up-down direction, and therefore FIG. 2 omits the lower part structure which is symmetric to the upper part structure. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the strip-shaped portions 246 are located on both sides of the long axis of the field plate 140, and no strip-shaped portion 246 is provided on both sides of the short axis of the field plate 140. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, a strip-shaped portion 246 is provided between each two adjacent ring structures 244, a strip-shaped portion 246 is also provided between the outer ring 242 and the outermost ring structure 244, and a strip-shaped portion 246 is also provided inside the innermost ring structure 244.

[0044] FIG. 3 is a layout of the field plate 140 in another embodiment of the present application. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the field plate 140 includes an outer ring 342 and a spiral portion 344 inside the outer ring 342. The spiral portion 344 is connected with the outer ring 342, and the ring width of the outer ring 342 is greater than the strip width of the spiral portion 344.

[0045] It should be noted that FIGS. 2 and 3 only show two structural shapes of the field plate 140, and in other embodiments, the field plate 140 can also have other shapes.

[0046] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the lateral device is a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) device. The device includes a substrate 10 and an insulating buried layer 20 on the substrate 10. The drift region 110 is located on the insulating buried layer 20. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the substrate 10 is a P-type silicon substrate, and the material of the insulating buried layer 20 is an oxide of silicon, such as silicon dioxide.

[0047] In one embodiment of the application, the lateral device further includes a gate 138. The gate 138 is disposed over the region between the source region 134 and the drain region 132 and extends from the edge of the source region 134 onto the field oxide layer 150. In one embodiment of the application, the gate 138 is formed of polysilicon material, although in other embodiments, metal, metal nitride, metal silicide, or similar compounds can be used as the material for the gate 138. The lateral device shown in Figure 1 is an LDMOSFET.

[0048] In one embodiment of the application, the gate 138 and the field plate 140 are formed in the same step by depositing polysilicon and then photolithographing and etching the polysilicon in the same step.

[0049] In one embodiment of the application, a gate dielectric layer is also disposed under the gate 138. The gate dielectric layer can include conventional dielectric materials such as oxides, nitrides, and oxynitrides of silicon having dielectric constants from about 4 to about 20 (measured in vacuum), or the gate dielectric layer can include higher dielectric constant dielectric materials having dielectric constants from about 20 to at least about 100. Such higher dielectric constant dielectric materials can include, but are not limited to, hafnium oxide, hafnium silicates, titanium oxide, barium strontium titanates (BSTs), and lead zirconium titanates (PZTs).

The lateral device includes a source region 134, a drain region 132, a drift region 110, a buried region 112 of a second conductivity type, a top doping 120 including an N-type layer 122 and an N-type layer 124, and a field oxide layer 150.

For example, the contact vias can be arranged in columns, with the odd-numbered columns of contact vias connected to the metal interconnect layer 160 and the even-numbered columns of contact vias not connected to the metal interconnect layer 160, or vice versa. In one embodiment of the application, the conductive material of the via field plate 142 can be a metal or an alloy, and in other embodiments, other conductive materials can be used for the via field plate 142.

[0052] In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the lateral device also includes an interlayer dielectric layer 154 disposed on the source region 134, the drain region 132, the gate 138, and the field oxide layer 150. The metal interconnect layer 160 is disposed on the interlayer dielectric layer 154, and the contact vias of the via field plate 142 penetrate through the interlayer dielectric layer 154 and down into the field oxide layer 150.

The metal interconnect layer 160 is transparentized in FIG. 5 to facilitate showing the location of the via field plate 142.
