Abstract

A lateral diffusion metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) device includes a first fin-shaped structure on a substrate, a shallow trench isolation (STI) adjacent to the first fin-shaped structure, a first gate structure on the first fin-shaped structure, a spacer adjacent to the first gate structure, and a contact field plate adjacent to the first gate structure and directly on the STI. Preferably, a sidewall of the spacer is aligned with a sidewall of the first fin-shaped structure.

Claims (37)

1. A lateral diffusion metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) device, comprising:

a first fin-shaped structure on a substrate;

a shallow trench isolation (STI) adjacent to the first fin-shaped structure;

a contact field plate adjacent to the first gate structure and directly on the STI; and

an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer between the spacer and the contact field plate, wherein a bottom surface of the ILD layer is even with a bottom surface of the contact field plate and lower than a bottom surface of the first gate structure.

2. The semiconductor device of claim 1 , further comprising:

a second fin-shaped structure adjacent to the first fin-shaped structure, wherein the STI is between the first fin-shaped structure and the second fin-shaped structure;

a second gate structure on the second fin-shaped structure;

a source region adjacent to one side of the first gate structure on the first fin-shaped structure;

a drain region adjacent to one side of the second gate structure on the second fin-shaped structure;

the interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer around the first gate structure and the second gate structure; and

a first contact plug on the source region and a second contact plug on the drain region.

3. The semiconductor device of claim 2 , wherein the contact field plate is between the first gate structure and the second gate structure.

4. The semiconductor device of claim 2 , wherein a width of the second gate structure is less than a width of the first gate structure.

5. The semiconductor device of claim 2 , wherein the contact field plate and the first contact plug comprise same material.

6. The semiconductor device of claim 2 , wherein a bottom surface of the contact field plate is lower than a bottom surface of the first contact plug.

7. The semiconductor device of claim 2 , wherein top surfaces of the contact field plate and the first contact plug are coplanar.

8. A lateral diffusion metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) device, comprising:

a first fin-shaped structure on a substrate;

a shallow trench isolation (STI) adjacent to the first fin-shaped structure;

a first gate structure on the first fin-shaped structure and the STI, wherein a bottom surface of the first gate structure comprises a step-shape;

a first spacer adjacent to one side of the first gate structure;

a second spacer adjacent to another side of the first gate structure; and

a contact field plate adjacent to the first gate structure and directly on the STI, wherein a bottom surface of the second spacer is lower than a bottom surface of the first spacer and even with the bottom surface of the first gate structure and a bottom surface of the contact field plate.

9. The semiconductor device of claim 8 , further comprising:

a second fin-shaped structure adjacent to the first fin-shaped structure, wherein the STI is between the first fin-shaped structure and the second fin-shaped structure;

a second gate structure on the second fin-shaped structure;

a source region adjacent to one side of the first gate structure on the first fin-shaped structure;

a drain region adjacent to one side of the second gate structure on the second fin-shaped structure;

an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer around the first gate structure and the second gate structure; and

a first contact plug on the source region and a second contact plug on the drain region.

10. The semiconductor device of claim 9 , wherein the contact field plate is between the first gate structure and the second gate structure.
