20140042522 | RF LDMOS DEVICE AND FABRICATION METHOD THEREOF - A radio frequency (RF) laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) device includes a substrate, a p-type epitaxial layer, a p-type well, a lightly doped n-type drain region, a gate oxide layer, a polysilicon gate, a dielectric layer and a Faraday shield. The Faraday shield includes: a horizontal portion covering a portion of the polysilicon gate and isolated from the polysilicon gate by the dielectric layer; a step-like portion with at least two steps covering a portion of the lightly doped n-type drain region and isolated from the lightly doped n-type drain region by the dielectric layer; and a vertical portion connecting the horizontal portion with the step-like portion and isolated from the polysilicon gate and the lightly doped n-type drain region by the dielectric layer. A method of fabricating such an RF LDMOS device is also disclosed. | 02-13-2014 |
