摘要:
An isolation structure in a semiconductor device absorbs electronic noise and prevents substrate leakage currents from reaching other devices and signals. The isolation structure provides a duality of deep N-well (“DNW”) isolation structures surrounding an RF device or other source of electronic noise. The DNW isolation structures extend into the substrate at a depth of at least about 2.5 μm and may be coupled to VDD. P+ guard rings are also provided in some embodiments and are provided inside, outside or between the dual DNW isolation structures.

A method includes forming a deep well region of a first conductivity type in a substrate, implanting a portion of the deep well region to form a first gate, and implanting the deep well region to form a well region. The well region and the first gate are of a second conductivity type opposite the first conductivity type. An implantation is performed to form a channel region of the first conductivity type over the first gate. A portion of the deep well region overlying the channel region is implanted to form a second gate of the second conductivity type. A source/drain implantation is performed to form a source region and a drain region of the first conductivity type on opposite sides of the second gate. The source and drain regions are connected to the channel region, and overlap the channel region and the first gate.
