Background technology
LDMOS device, as shown in Figure 1, comprises P type silicon substrate 1, forms N-type deep trap 2 on silicon substrate 1, and this N-type deep trap 2 forms drift region; In deep trap 2, be formed with field oxide 4, field oxide 4 belows are formed with P+ buried regions 5, and this buried regions 5 does not longitudinally contact with field oxide 4.Near on a side field oxide 4 in drain region, be formed with drain region polycrystalline field plate 7, on opposite side field oxide 4, be formed with grid polycrystalline field plate 6.In silicon substrate 1, be formed with P type well region 3, well region 3 is drawn by the 3rd doped region 13 of P+, source is formed by the first doped region 8 of N+, and the first doped region 8 and the 3rd doped region 13 are laterally connected to form source region, forms the drain region being comprised of N+ the second doped region 9 in N-type deep trap 2.Source electrode is drawn by source region Metal field plate 11 in the first doped region 8 and the 3rd doped region 13, and the second doped region 9 is connected with drain region polycrystalline field plate 7 by drain region Metal field plate 10; Between source region Metal field plate 11 and drain region Metal field plate 10, be formed with gate metal field plate 12.
In the LDMOS device of high pressure (drain terminal voltage is greater than 20V) or even superhigh pressure (drain terminal voltage is greater than 400V), in order to improve the puncture voltage of device, conventionally in channel region part, form a longer drift region, when drain terminal making alive, drift region will exhaust completely, become ,Gai region, a space charge region and will present high-impedance state, thereby play a withstand voltage effect.Yet the concentration of drift region can not be too high, if too high, exhausting expansion can be too not wide, and space charge region is less, cause longitudinally when drain terminal adds high voltage, easily puncturing, thus certain withstand voltage in order to ensure, need lighter drift region concentration.But when the concentration of drift region is too low, the conducting resistance of drift region part will become greatly, the conducting resistance of whole device also will increase, and the power consumption of device itself can become greatly, and energy conversion efficiency reduces.In order to solve this contradiction, particularly for high-voltage LDMOS device, often in drift region, form a buried regions contrary with drift region concentration, this buried regions can exhaust with drift region, the concentration of drift region is improved, can not reduce puncture voltage again simultaneously, this technology can balance contradiction between withstand voltage and conducting resistance, be commonly referred to and reduce surface field technology (Reduced Surface Field is called for short RESURF).
In addition, field plate techniques is also a kind of technology that is usually used in improving device withstand voltage, conventionally in drain electrode, add a polycrystalline field plate 7 and Metal field plate 10, polycrystalline field plate 7 is directly connected with drain voltage by Metal field plate 10, can adopt polycrystalline field plate 6 and Metal field plate 12 near grid simultaneously.This field plate effect makes LDMOS device have similar mos capacitance structure, can carry out dividing potential drop, thereby reduces the peak value electric field of device, and the puncture voltage of device can be improved.Yet, in the marginal portion of field plate, because power line is more concentrated, have a peak electric field, in contrast to this, the most of region above drift region is without any field plate, electric field strength is just lower, causes the peak value electric field of resulting devices high in drain electrode and source electrode, middle low.As everyone knows, what the area integral below electric field was device is withstand voltage, so device is withstand voltage still limited.The high pressure NLDMOS device of take is example, and as shown in Figure 1, the simulation result of electric field as shown in Figure 2 for device architecture.In Fig. 2, in emulation, drain terminal has been made to the structure claiming with respect to source both sides, middle is source, both sides are drain terminal, from simulation result, the leakage two ends, electric field ratio source, drift region between drain-source two ends are low, and the area integral region below its electric field is that compressive resistance is limited.
