Method of forming high voltage N-LDMOS transistors having shallow trench isolation region with drain extensions
First Claim
1. A method of manufacturing a transistor comprising:
- forming a trench in a substrate;
forming spacers in said trench;
after forming said spacers, implanting a drain extension through said trench into said substrate;
filling said trench with a shallow trench isolation (STI) material;
defining a channel region in said substrate on one side said STI material;
forming a source region in said substrate on an opposite side of said channel region from said STI material;
forming a drain region in said substrate on an opposite side of said STI material from said channel region; and
forming a gate above said channel region.

Abstract
A method and structure is disclosed for a transistor having a gate, a channel region below the gate, a source region on one side of the channel region, a drain region on an opposite side of the channel region from the source region, a shallow trench isolation (STI) region in the substrate between the drain region and the channel region, and a drain extension below the STI region. The drain extension is positioned along a bottom of the STI region and along a portion of sides of the STI. Portions of the drain extension along the bottom of the STI may comprise different dopant implants than the portions of the drain extensions along the sides of the STI. Portions of the drain extensions along sides of the STI extend from the bottom of the STI to a position partially up the sides of the STI. The STI region is below a portion of the gate. The drain extension provides a conductive path between the drain region and the channel region around a lower perimeter of the STI. The drain region is positioned further from the gate than the source region.
