A new silicon-on-insulator(SOI) high-voltage MOSFET structure with a compensation layer on the trenched buried oxide layer(CL T-LDMOS) is proposed.The high density inverse interface charges at the top surface of the buried oxide layer(BOX) enhance the electric field in the BOX and a uniform surface electric field profile is obtained,which results in the enhancement of the breakdown voltage(BV).The compensation layer can provide additional P-type charges,and the optimal drift region concentration is increased in order to satisfy the reduced surface electric field(RESURF) condition.The numerical simulation results indicate that the vertical electric field in the BOX increases to 6 MV/cm and the B V of the proposed device increases by 300%in comparison to a conventional SOI LDMOS,while maintaining low on-resistance.     

漂移区阶梯掺杂的双栅SOI LDMOS研究

A new double gate SOI LDMOS with a step doping profile in the drift region is proposed. The structure is characterized by one surface gate and another embedded gate under the P-body region. The broadened current flow path and the majority carrier accumulation layer on the side wall of the embedded gate reduce the specific on-resistance （Ron, sp）. The electric field distribution is improved due to the embedded gate and step doping profile, resulting in a high breakdown voltage （BV） and low Ron, sp. The influences of device parameters on BV and Ron, sp are investigated by simulation. The results indicate that BV is increased by 35.2% and Ron, sp is decreased by 35.1% compared to a conventional SOI LDMOS.     

A new high voltage SOI LDMOS with triple RESURF structure

A novel triple RESURF（T-resurf） SOI LDMOS structure is proposed.This structure has a P-type buried layer.Firstly,the depletion layer can extend on both sides of the P-buried layer,serving as a triple RESURF and leading to a high drift doping and a low on-resistance.Secondly,at a high doping concentration of the drift region, the P-layer can reduce high bulk electric field in the drift region and enhance the vertical electric field at the drain side,which results in uniform bulk electric field distributions and an enhanced BV.The proposed structure is used in SOI devices for the first time.The T-resurf SOI LDMOS with BV = 315 V is obtained by simulation on a 6μm-thick SOI layer over a 2μm-thick buried oxide layer,and its R_sp is reduced from 16.5 to 13.8 mΩ·cm² in comparison with the double RESURF（D-resurf） SOI LDMOS.When the thickness of the SOI layer increases, T-resurf SOI LDMOS displays a more obvious effect on the enhancement of BV²/R_on.It reduces R_sp by 25%in 400 V SOI LDMOS and by 38%in 550 V SOI LDMOS compared with the D-resurf structure.     

A new structure and its analytical breakdown model of high voltage SOI device with Step Unmovable Surface Charges of buried oxide layer

A new SOI （Silicon On Insulator） high voltage device with Step Unmovable Surface Charges （SUSC） of buried oxide layer and its analytical breakdown model are proposed in the paper. The unmovable charges are implemented into the upper surface of buried oxide layer to increase the vertical electric field and uniform the lateral one. The 2-D Poisson＇s equation is solved to demonstrate the modulation effect of the immobile interface charges and analyze the electric field and breakdown voltage with the various geometric parameters and step numbers. A new RESURF （REduce SURface Field） condition of the SOl device considering the interface charges and buried oxide is derived to maximize breakdown voltage. The analytical results are in good agreement with the numerical analysis obtained by the 2-D semiconductor devices simulator MEDICI. As a result, an 1200V breakdown voltage is firstly obtained in 3pro-thick top Si layer, 2pro-thick buried oxide layer and 70pro-length drift region using a linear doping profile of unmovable buried oxide charges.     

具有L型低阻导电通道的介质场增强SOI LDMOS

A low specific on-resistance（R on;sp/ SOI NBL TLDMOS（silicon-on-insulator trench LDMOS with an N buried layer） is proposed. It has three features： a thin N buried layer（NBL） on the interface of the SOI layer/buried oxide（BOX） layer, an oxide trench in the drift region, and a trench gate extended to the BOX layer.First, on the on-state, the electron accumulation layer forms beside the extended trench gate; the accumulation layer and the highly doping NBL constitute an L-shaped low-resistance conduction path, which sharply decreases the R on;sp. Second, in the y-direction, the BOX＇s electric field（E-field） strength is increased to 154 V/ m from48 V/ m of the SOI Trench Gate LDMOS（SOI TG LDMOS） owing to the high doping NBL. Third, the oxide trench increases the lateral E-field strength due to the lower permittivity of oxide than that of Si and strengthens the multiple-directional depletion effect. Fourth, the oxide trench folds the drift region along the y-direction and thus reduces the cell pitch. Therefore, the SOI NBL TLDMOS structure not only increases the breakdown voltage（BV）, but also reduces the cell pitch and R on;sp. Compared with the TG LDMOS, the NBL TLDMOS improves the BV by 105% at the same cell pitch of 6 m, and decreases the R on;sp by 80% at the same BV.     

Unified Breakdown Model of SOI RESURF Device with Uniform/Step/Linear Doping Profile

A unified breakdown model of SOI RESURF device with uniform,step，or linear drift region doping profile is firstly proposed.By the model,the electric field distribution and breakdown voltage are researched in detail for the step numbers from 0 to infinity.The critic electric field as the function of the geometry parameters and doping profile is derived.For the thick film device,linear doping profile can be replaced by a single or two steps doping profile in the drift region due to a considerable uniformly lateral electric field,almost ideal breakdown voltage,and simplified design and fabrication.The availability of the proposed model is verified by the good accordance among the analytical results,numerical simulations,and reported experiments.     

具有缓冲层和N型埋层的高压兼容Bi-CMOS工艺的超结LDMOS

A novel buffer super-junction （S J） lateral double-diffused MOSFET （LDMOS） with an N-type buried layer （NB） is proposed. An N- buffer layer is implemented under the SJ region and an N-type layer is buried in the P substrate. Firstly, the new electric field peak introduced by the p-n junction of the P substrate and the N-type buried layer modulates the surface electric field distribution. Secondly, the N-buffer layer suppresses the substrate assisted depletion effect. Both of them improve the breakdown voltage （BV）. Finally, because of the shallow depth of the SJ region, the NB buffer SJ-LDMOS is compatible with Bi-CMOS technology. Simulation results indicate that the average value of the surface lateral electric field strength of the NB buffer SJ-LDMOS reaches 23 V/μm at 15/μm drift length which results in a BV of 350 V and a specific on-resistance of 21 mΩ·cm2.

A novel high-voltage device structure with a floating heavily doped N~+ ring embedded in the substrate is reported,which is called FR LDMOS.When the N~+ ring is introduced in the device substrate,the electric field peak of the main junction is reduced due to the transfer of the voltage from the main junction to the N~+ ring junction, and the vertical breakdown characteristic is improved significantly.Based on the Poisson equation of cylindrical coordinates,a breakdown voltage model is developed.The numerical results indicate that the breakdown voltage of the proposed device is increased by 56%in comparison to conventional LDMOS.     

On-State Breakdown Model for High Voltage RESURF LDMOS

An analytical breakdown model under on-state condition for high voltage RESURF LDMOS is proposed.The model considers the drift velocity saturation of carriers and influence of parasitic bipolar transistor.As a result,electric field profile of n-drift in LDMOS at on-state is obtained.Based on this model,the electric SOA of LDMOS can be determined.The analytical results partially fit to our numerical (by MEDICI) and experiment results.This model is an aid to understand the device physics during on-state accurately and it also directs high voltage LDMOS design.

The CBL consists of an upper buried oxide layer (UBOX) with a Si window and two oxide steps, a polysilicon layer and a lower buried oxide layer (LBOX). In the blocking state, the electric field strengths in the UBOX and LBOX are increased from 88 V/μm of the buried oxide (BOX) in a conventional SOI (C-SOI) LDMOS to 163 V/μm and 460 V/μm by the holes located on the top interfaces of the UBOX and LBOX, respectively. Compared with the C-SOI LDMOS, the CBL LDMOS increases the breakdown voltage from 477 to 847 V, and lowers the maximal temperature by 6 K.

New High-Voltage ( $>$ 1200 V) MOSFET With the Charge Trenches on Partial SOI

A novel silicon-on-insulator (SOI) high-voltage MOSFET structure and its breakdown mechanism are presented in this paper. The structure is characterized by oxide trenches on the top interface of the buried oxide layer on partial SOI (TPSOI). Inversion charges located in the trenches enhance the electric field of the buried layer in the high-voltage blocking state, and a silicon window makes the depletion region spread into the substrate. Both of them modulate the electric field in the drift region; therefore, the breakdown voltage (BV) for a TPSOI LDMOS is greatly enhanced. Moreover, the Si window alleviates the self-heating effect. The influences of the structure parameters on device characteristics are analyzed for the proposed device structure. The TPSOI LDMOS with BV > 1200 V and the buried-layer electric field of E_I > 700 V/ mum is obtained by the simulation on a 2-mum-thick SOI layer over 2-mum-thick buried oxide layer, and its maximal temperature reduces by 19 and 8.7 K in comparison with the conventional SOI and partial SOI devices.     

Thin layer oxide in the drift region of Laterally double-diffused metal oxide semiconductor on silicon-on-insulator: A novel device structure enabling reliable high-temperature power transistors

In this paper a new lateral double diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) transistor on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology is reported. In the proposed structure a trench oxide in the drift region is reformed to reduce surface temperature. In the LDMOS devices one way for achieving high breakdown voltage is incorporating the trench oxide in the drift region. But, this strategy causes high lattice temperature in the device. So, the middle of the trench oxide in the drift region is etched and filled with the silicon to have higher thermal conductivity material and reduce the lattice temperature in the drift region. The simulation with two-dimensional ATLAS simulator shows that the novel thin trench oxide in the n-drift region of LDMOS transistor (TT-LDMOS) have lower maximum lattice temperature with an acceptable breakdown voltage in respect to the conventional LDMOS (C-LDMOS) structure with the trench oxide in the drift region. So, TT-LDMOS can be a reliable device for power transistors.
