  • Patent number: 7192834
    Abstract: A lateral double diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) device, and method of fabricating such a device, are provided. The method comprises the steps of: (a) providing a substrate of a first conductivity type; (b) forming within the substrate a well region of a second conductivity type, the well region having a super steep retrograde (SSR) well profile in which a doping concentration changes with depth so as to provide a lighter doping concentration in a surface region of the well region than in a region below the surface region of the well region; (c) forming a gate layer which partly overlies the well region and is insulated from the well region; and (d) forming one of a source region and a drain region in the well region. The presence of the SSR well region provides a lighter surface doping to enable a higher breakdown voltage to be obtained within the LDMOS device, and heavier sub-surface doping to decrease the on-resistance.
