在提出本發明的技術之前,本發明對所要處理的高電壓積體電路進行探究,以期能發現與瞭解其操作上可以提升之處,以利於能提出有效的解決方案。Before proposing the technology of the present invention, the present invention explores the high-voltage integrated circuit to be processed, in order to discover and understand the improvement in its operation, so as to be able to propose effective solutions.

圖1是依照本發明的一實施例,高電壓積體電路的基本架構示意圖。參閱圖1,此高電壓積體電路50是在實際應用上的基本架構。高電壓積體電路50會控制高電壓源單元,以提供輸出電壓。高電壓源單元連接在高電壓源HV與接地電壓之間,例如是由高電壓端選擇器60及低電壓端選擇器62串接所構成。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the basic structure of a high-voltage integrated circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the high-voltage integrated circuit 50 is a basic structure in practical application. The high-voltage integrated circuit 50 controls the high-voltage source unit to provide an output voltage. The high-voltage source unit is connected between the high-voltage source HV and the ground voltage, and is formed by, for example, a high-voltage terminal selector 60 and a low-voltage terminal selector 62 connected in series.

在高電壓積體電路50中包含高電壓驅動電路(HV)52、低電壓驅動電路(LV)54、電壓移位器56及控制電路58。控制電路58電路通過電壓移位單元56對高電壓驅動電路(HV)52控制,可以控制高電壓端選擇器60的導通與斷開。The high voltage integrated circuit 50 includes a high voltage drive circuit (HV) 52, a low voltage drive circuit (LV) 54, a voltage shifter 56, and a control circuit 58. The control circuit 58 controls the high voltage drive circuit (HV) 52 through the voltage shift unit 56 to control the on and off of the high voltage terminal selector 60.

高電壓驅動電路(HV)52也是上橋電路,其操作高電壓。高電壓驅動電路52例如包括高電壓電晶體。為了要隔離上橋電路的高電壓,一般還會設置高電壓終端(High Voltage Junction Termination,HVJT) 結構53,環繞高電壓驅動電路52以終止高電壓。另外在高電壓驅動電路52的外圍是低電壓驅動電路54、電壓移位器56等元件,其例如包含低電壓電晶體或是在電壓移位器56中的高電壓電晶體。The high voltage drive circuit (HV) 52 is also an upper bridge circuit, which operates at a high voltage. The high-voltage driving circuit 52 includes, for example, a high-voltage transistor. In order to isolate the high voltage of the upper bridge circuit, a High Voltage Junction Termination (HVJT) structure 53 is generally provided to surround the high voltage driving circuit 52 to terminate the high voltage. In addition, at the periphery of the high-voltage driving circuit 52 are components such as a low-voltage driving circuit 54 and a voltage shifter 56, which include, for example, a low-voltage transistor or a high-voltage transistor in the voltage shifter 56.

要進一步隔離高電壓驅動電路52,一般會利用在基底中在相同導電型的元件之間增加不同導電型摻雜區域來隔離。To further isolate the high-voltage driving circuit 52, generally, doped regions of different conductivity types are added between the elements of the same conductivity type in the substrate for isolation.

參閱圖2,習知技術對於高電壓半導體元件的之製造,其例如會在矽晶圓基板100上先形成磊晶層101。磊晶層101用以形成高電壓元件所需要的多種摻雜區。因此,矽的基板100與磊晶層101構成基底。然而於一實施例,基底也是可以指矽晶圓基板100,而所需要的多種摻雜區直接形成在基板100中。本發明的基底可以是基板100或是基板100與磊晶層101的整合。Referring to FIG. 2, for the manufacture of high-voltage semiconductor devices in the prior art, for example, an epitaxial layer 101 is formed on a silicon wafer substrate 100 first. The epitaxial layer 101 is used to form various doped regions required by high-voltage devices. Therefore, the silicon substrate 100 and the epitaxial layer 101 constitute a base. However, in one embodiment, the base may also refer to the silicon wafer substrate 100, and the required multiple doped regions are directly formed in the substrate 100. The base of the present invention may be the substrate 100 or the integration of the substrate 100 and the epitaxial layer 101.

在基板100上會因應高電壓元件形成N型埋入層102,其例如是在磊晶層101的底部,即是在基板100與磊晶層101之間。在磊晶層101中會對應所要形成的各種元件10、12、14、16、18、20而形成對應的摻雜區域。這些元件例如是高電壓橫向擴散金屬氧化物半導體元件(HV LDMOS) 10、高電壓內連線12、電阻器14、N型電晶體(NMOS)16、P型電晶體(PMOS)18及NPN電晶體20等,其中場效電晶體還包括閘極(G)、源極(S)及汲極(D)。另外,在磊晶層101的表層也會形成場氧化層112來隔離元件。An N-type buried layer 102 is formed on the substrate 100 in response to high-voltage components, which is, for example, at the bottom of the epitaxial layer 101, that is, between the substrate 100 and the epitaxial layer 101. Corresponding doped regions are formed in the epitaxial layer 101 corresponding to the various elements 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 to be formed. These elements are, for example, high-voltage laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor elements (HV LDMOS) 10, high-voltage interconnects 12, resistors 14, N-type transistors (NMOS) 16, P-type transistors (PMOS) 18, and NPN devices. The crystal 20, etc., wherein the field effect transistor also includes a gate (G), a source (S), and a drain (D). In addition, a field oxide layer 112 is also formed on the surface of the epitaxial layer 101 to isolate the devices.

習知高電壓半導體結構的高電壓元件之間的隔離方式。對於較直接的隔離方式,其在磊晶層101中是採用P型摻雜隔離結構(p-iso)22。這些P型摻雜隔離結構22是形成在場氧化層112的下方。此結構存在一些可能的問題,敘述如後。The isolation method between the high-voltage components of the high-voltage semiconductor structure is known. For a more direct isolation method, a P-type doped isolation structure (p-iso) 22 is used in the epitaxial layer 101. These P-type doped isolation structures 22 are formed under the field oxide layer 112. There are some possible problems with this structure, as described below.

圖3是習知的高電壓積體電路的半導體剖面結構示意圖。參閱圖3,取半導體剖面結構關於P型摻雜隔離結構的部分來探究。在基板100上的磊晶層101中形成有N型摻雜區域104與N型摻雜區域106。此N型摻雜區域104與N型摻雜區域106被P型隔離井區108(p-iso)隔離。在磊晶層101的表層且位於N型摻雜區域104與N型摻雜區域106及P型隔離井區108的上方也形成有場氧化層112。場氧化層112也是隔離結構,位於兩個N型重摻雜區域(N+)114之間。3 is a schematic diagram of a semiconductor cross-sectional structure of a conventional high-voltage integrated circuit. Referring to FIG. 3, take the part of the semiconductor cross-sectional structure about the P-type doped isolation structure to explore. An N-type doped region 104 and an N-type doped region 106 are formed in the epitaxial layer 101 on the substrate 100. The N-type doped region 104 and the N-type doped region 106 are separated by a P-type isolation well 108 (p-iso). A field oxide layer 112 is also formed on the surface layer of the epitaxial layer 101 and located above the N-type doped region 104 and the N-type doped region 106 and the P-type isolation well region 108. The field oxide layer 112 is also an isolation structure and is located between two N-type heavily doped regions (N+) 114.

在圖3的P型隔離井區108當作摻雜隔離結構,其是直接形成在場氧化層112下方,與場氧化層112接觸。由於P型隔離井區108是摻雜P型摻質,例如是硼元素,其會於場氧化層112界面產生硼分離(Boron segregation)的現象,介面處的硼濃度降低,P型隔離井區108與氧化層112的界面由於硼分離的現象而形成漂移區域110。在漂移區域110會有由N型摻雜區域104的高電壓元件對N型摻雜區域106的外圍元件產生漏電流。另外在高電壓操作時,崩潰電壓有需要考慮。加大P型隔離井區108的長度可以提高崩潰電壓,防止元件損壞。然而由於在漂移區域110有漏電流的現象,加大P型隔離井區108的長度無法有效抑制漏電流。也就是說,在圖3的結構下,漏電流與崩潰電壓是相互增減,其一者的提升,另一者的將降低。The P-type isolation well region 108 in FIG. 3 is used as a doped isolation structure, which is formed directly under the field oxide layer 112 and is in contact with the field oxide layer 112. Since the P-type isolation well region 108 is doped with P-type dopants, such as boron, it will produce Boron segregation at the interface of the field oxide layer 112, and the boron concentration at the interface will decrease. The interface between 108 and the oxide layer 112 forms a drift region 110 due to the phenomenon of boron separation. In the drift region 110, the high-voltage components of the N-type doped region 104 may cause leakage current to the peripheral components of the N-type doped region 106. In addition, when operating at high voltage, the breakdown voltage needs to be considered. Increasing the length of the P-type isolation well region 108 can increase the breakdown voltage and prevent component damage. However, due to the leakage current phenomenon in the drift region 110, increasing the length of the P-type isolation well region 108 cannot effectively suppress the leakage current. That is to say, under the structure of FIG. 3, the leakage current and the breakdown voltage increase and decrease each other, and the increase of one, the decrease of the other.

本發明至少觀察到前述的現象後,進一步提出摻雜隔離結構的改良。圖4是依照本發明的一實施例,高電壓積體電路的半導體剖面結構示意圖。以下參閱圖4。After observing at least the aforementioned phenomenon, the present invention further proposes the improvement of the doped isolation structure. 4 is a schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure of a semiconductor of a high-voltage integrated circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

於一實施例,在基底的表層例如在磊晶層101的表層所形成分離的場氧化層122與場氧化層124。場氧化層122在N型摻雜區域106上方。N型摻雜區域106所形成的元件是外圍元件例如包括電壓移位器的電晶體等。在N型摻雜區域106上的重摻雜區域114例如是電晶體的汲極。於一實施例,在N型摻雜區域104所形成的元件是高電壓元件,例如包括高電壓驅動元件(例如圖1的高電壓驅動電路52)或是高電壓終端結構(HVJT)圍繞高電壓驅動元件。本發明在N型摻雜區域104與 N型摻雜區域106中對應所形成的元件不限於所舉的實施例。In one embodiment, a separate field oxide layer 122 and a field oxide layer 124 are formed on the surface layer of the substrate, for example, on the surface layer of the epitaxial layer 101. The field oxide layer 122 is above the N-type doped region 106. The elements formed by the N-type doped region 106 are peripheral elements such as a transistor including a voltage shifter. The heavily doped region 114 on the N-type doped region 106 is, for example, the drain of the transistor. In one embodiment, the element formed in the N-type doped region 104 is a high-voltage element, for example, including a high-voltage driving element (such as the high-voltage driving circuit 52 in FIG. 1) or a high-voltage terminal structure (HVJT) surrounding the high-voltage Drive components. In the present invention, the corresponding elements formed in the N-type doped region 104 and the N-type doped region 106 are not limited to the illustrated embodiments.

本發明在P型隔離井區108的表層,於場氧化層122與場氧化層124之間形成P型重摻雜區 (P+)120,在P型重摻雜區 (P+)120上方沒有形成場氧化層。由於P型重摻雜區120的P型摻濃度可以有效提升,有效減少產生摻質對場氧化層在介面處的硼分離產生,而造成隔離區表面漏電流的現象。In the present invention, a P-type heavily doped region (P+) 120 is formed between the field oxide layer 122 and the field oxide layer 124 on the surface layer of the P-type isolation well region 108, and no P-type heavily doped region (P+) 120 is formed above Field oxide layer. Since the P-type doping concentration of the P-type heavily doped region 120 can be effectively increased, it effectively reduces the occurrence of dopant separation of boron at the interface of the field oxide layer, which causes leakage current on the surface of the isolation region.

圖5是依照本發明的一實施例,沿著隔離結構的摻雜濃度示意圖。參閱圖5,本發明從研究的數據顯示,沿著P型隔離井區108橫向方向的X軸的濃度分佈示意圖來看,點線是沒有P型重摻雜區120的濃度分佈,其大致上維持相同的濃度。於此,縱軸的濃度值刻度是取對數LOG的相對示意值,而不是實際需要的濃度值。實線是加入P型重摻雜區120的結構,從定性的現象來分析,在中間點(X=0)的摻質濃度最大。P型重摻雜區120的加入可以有效達到隔離效果,且能避免與場氧化層122與場氧化層124產生表面漏電流。FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the doping concentration along the isolation structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5, the present invention shows from the research data that the concentration distribution along the X axis in the lateral direction of the P-type isolation well region 108 shows that the dotted line is the concentration distribution without the P-type heavily doped region 120, which is roughly Maintain the same concentration. Here, the concentration value scale on the vertical axis is the relative schematic value of the logarithm LOG, not the actual concentration value. The solid line is the structure where the P-type heavily doped region 120 is added. From the qualitative analysis, the dopant concentration is the largest at the intermediate point (X=0). The addition of the P-type heavily doped region 120 can effectively achieve the isolation effect, and can avoid surface leakage current with the field oxide layer 122 and the field oxide layer 124.

再度參閱圖4,完成在基底的磊晶層101的多種摻雜結構以及其上的電壓元件後,內層介電層116後續形成而覆蓋磊晶層101的表面結構。其後內連線結構118,也在內層介電層116中形成,達成電路的連接路徑。本發明不限於後續的製程。Referring again to FIG. 4, after the various doping structures of the epitaxial layer 101 of the substrate and the voltage components thereon are completed, an inner dielectric layer 116 is subsequently formed to cover the surface structure of the epitaxial layer 101. After that, the interconnection structure 118 is also formed in the inner dielectric layer 116 to achieve a circuit connection path. The present invention is not limited to the subsequent manufacturing process.
