  • Patent number: 12205996
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an LDMOS device and a method of forming the device, in which a barrier layer includes n etch stop layers. Insulating layers are formed between adjacent etch stop layers. Since an interlayer dielectric layer and the insulating layers are both oxides that differ from the material of the etch stop layers, etching processes can be stopped at the n etch stop layers when they are proceeding in the oxides, thus forming n field plate holes terminating at the respective n etch stop layers. A lower end of the first field plate hole proximal to a gate structure is closest to a drift region, and a lower end of the n-th field plate hole proximal to a drain region is farthest from the drift region. With this arrangement, more uniform electric field strength can be obtained around front and rear ends of the drift region, resulting in an effectively improved electric field distribution throughout the drift region and thus in an increased breakdown voltage.

In the display panel of the present application, an electrical field for drying on a pixel electrode layer is used to fix charged groups in a solution of a light-emitting functional layer, which prevents a solvent from driving the movement of the charged groups when the solvent is volatilized, thereby obtaining a light-emitting functional layer with a uniform film thickness. Moreover, the use of the electric field for drying fixes the charged groups so that a drying treatment is performed without strict pumping control during the solvent volatilization process.
