Current constriction in a p-n junction under a thermal mode of breakdown is analyzed and expressions for terminal voltage and radius of constriction are derived for silicon devices. The values predicted by this model are of the same order as those observed for transistors under second breakdown; it is proposed that second breakdown in transistors is a thermal mode of breakdown which inevitably follows if energy dissipated in the avalanche mode of breakdown is large enough to increase the temperature of some portion of the junction to the intrinsic or turnover temperature of the junction.

Analysis of the drain breakdown mechanism in ultra-thin-film SOIMOSFETs

The drain breakdown phenomenon in ultra-thin-film (silicon-on-insulator) SOI MOSFETs has been studied. Two-dimensional simulation revealed that the thinning of the SOI film brings about an increase in the drain electric field due to the two-dimensional effect, causing a significant lowering in the drain breakdown voltage, as has been commonly seen in ultra-thin-film SOI MOSFETs. The simulation also showed that the lowered drain breakdown voltage recovered almost to its original value when the drain SOI thickness was restored, suggesting that the drain structure, rather than the source, plays a major role in determining the drain breakdown voltage. Experiments using an asymmetric device structure supported this hypothesis, showing that the breakdown voltage was mostly dependent on the drain structure, the initial potential barrier height at the source-SOI-body junction being only a minor factor. Transient simulation was also carried out to investigate the detailed breakdown process, showing that holes accumulate near the source-SOI-body junction at a high drain bias, eventually forward-biasing the junction. These results indicate that a careful drain design and/or proper choice of the SOI thickness as well as the supply voltage are quite important for realizing high performance of ultra-thin-film SOI MOSFETs

A review of HVI technology

The reduction of breakdown voltage (BV) influenced by high voltage interconnection (HVI) is a key problem in power integrated circuit, which essentially is that the modulation of electric field distribution at the device surface caused by HVI. In this paper, we review the developments of the methods to shield HVI including thick insulating film technology, field reduction layer technology, field plate technology and self-shielding technology. The four kinds of HVI technologies prevent BV degradation from the introduced adverse charge induced by interconnections in different ways. Thick insulting film technology increases the distance between the HVI and surface of silicon. Field reduction layer technology uses additional doping layers with optimized impurity concentration to enhance the depletion of the drift region under HVI. Field plate technology shields the influence of HVI with various field plate structures. Self-shielding technology makes HVI avoid crossing over high voltage junction terminal (HVJT), thus no additional shielding structure is needed. The divided reduced surface field (RESURF) technology solves the leakage current in the self-shielding structure.

Breakdown behavior of GaAs/AlGaAs HBTs

Avalanche breakdown behavior at the collector junction of the GaAs/AlGaAs HBT (heterojunction bipolar transistor) has been studied. Junction breakdown characteristics displaying hard breakdown, soft breakdown, and negative resistance breakdown behavior were observed and are interpreted by analysis of localized microplasma effects, uniform microplasma-free behavior, and associated current gain measurements. Light emission from the collector-base junction of the GaAs/AlGaAs HBT was observed and used to investigate breakdown uniformity. Using a simple punchthrough breakdown model, the theoretical breakdown curves at different collector doping concentrations and thicknesses were computed and found to be in agreement with maximum breakdown voltages measured from devices displaying the most uniform junction breakdown. The serious current gain degradation of GaAs/AlGaAs HBTs at low current densities was analyzed in connection with the measurement of a large collector-emitter breakdown voltage. The unexpected functional relationship between the collector-emitter breakdown voltage and collector-base breakdown voltage is explained by the absence of a hole-feedback effect for devices not exhibiting transistor action     

Maximum surface and bulk electric fields at breakdown for planar and beveled devices

Techniques previously presented for predicting breakdown voltage on planar devices with and without a field ring and in negative beveled devices are greatly extended so that the peak bulk and surface electric fields at breakdown can now be predicted. In addition, new techniques are described which for the first time allow the peak bulk and surface electric fields to be predicted for all positive and double positive beveled devices. Using this paper it becomes possible to predict peak bulk and surface electric fields as well as breakdown voltage for all planar and beveled devices. This is accomplished by the use or normalization procedures which allow dependencies on the substrate doping, junction depth, surface concentration, junction curvature, and bevel angle to be reduced to a single dependence. It is shown that the positive bevel is most effective in reducing surface electric fields with the negative bevel, double positive bevel, and the field ring for planar devices in decreasing order of effectiveness.
