摘要:
A lateral diffusion metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) structure comprises a gate, a source, a drain and a shallow trench isolation. The shallow trench isolation is formed between the drain and the gate to withstand high voltages, applied to the drain, and is associated with the semiconductor substrate to form a recess. As such, the surface of the shallow trench isolation is lower than the surface of the semiconductor substrate. Optionally, the surface of the shallow trench isolation is lower than the surface of the semiconductor substrate by 300-1500 angstroms.

An integrated circuit structure includes a semiconductor substrate; a first well region of a first conductivity type over the semiconductor substrate; a second well region of a second conductivity type opposite the first conductivity type encircling the first well region; and a metal-containing layer over and adjoining the first well region and extending over at least an inner portion of the second well region. The metal-containing layer and the first well region form a Schottky barrier. The integrated circuit structure further includes an isolation region encircling the metal-containing layer; and a third well region of the second conductivity type encircling at least a central portion of the first well region. The third well region has a higher impurity concentration than the second well region, and includes a top surface adjoining the metal-containing layer, and a bottom surface higher than bottom surfaces of the first and the second well regions.
