  • Patent number: 6429077
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of forming a lateral diffused metal-oxide semiconductor (LD MOS) transistor on a semiconductor wafer. An ion implantation process is performed on a predetermined area of the silicon substrate so as to form a p-well adjacent to an n-well. An insulation layer is then formed on a predetermined area of the n-well. A gate layer is formed on a portion of the p-well and the n-well, and one side of the gate layer is positioned on the surface of the insulation layer. Finally, an ion implantation process is performed to form two n-type doped regions on the p-well and the n-well. The two doped regions are used as the source and the drain of the LD MOS transistor.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for forming a transistor with a gradient doped source/drain. The method comprises the following steps. First, two first N-wells are formed in a substrate and the first N-wells are separated in both sides of the substrate. The, two second N-wells are formed in the substrate and the second N-wells overlie the first N-wells. An implanting concentration of first N-wells is smaller than an implanting concentration of second N-wells. Next, a field oxide region is formed in the substrate between the first N-wells and the field oxide region overlies on a portion of second N-wells. Thereafter, portion of the field oxide region and the substrate are removed to form a trench n the substrate, wherein the remaining field oxide region overlies on the second N-wells. Next, a gate oxide layer is formed on a bottom surface and sidewall of the trench. Then, a polysilicon gate is formed on the substrate.
