A novel complementary N+-charge island SOI high voltage device

A new complementary interface charge island structure of SOI high voltage device (CNI SOI) and its model are presented. CNI SOI is characterized by equidistant high concentration n+-regions on the top and bottom interfaces of dielectric buried layers. When a high voltage is applied to the device, complementary hole and electron islands are formed on the two n+-regions on the top and bottom interfaces. The introduced interface charges effectively increase the electric field of the dielectric buried layer (E1) and reduce the electric field of the silicon layer (Es), which result in a high breakdown voltage (BV). The influence of structure parameters and its physical mechanism on breakdown voltage are investigated for CNI SOI. EI = 731 V/μm and BV = 750 V are obtained by 2D simulation on a l-μm-thick dielectric layer and 5-μm-thick top silicon layer. Moreover, enhanced field E1 and reduced field Es by the accumulated interface charges reach 641.3 V/μm and 23.73 V/μm, respectively.     

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.     

A new SOI high voltage device based on E-SIMOX substrate

A new NI (n+ charge islands) high voltage device structure based on E-SIMOX (epitaxy-the separation by implantation of oxygen) substrate is proposed. It is characterized by equidistant high concentration n+-regions on the top interface of the dielectric buried layer. Inversion holes caused by the vertical electric field (Ev) are located in the spacing of two neighboring n+-regions on the interface by the force from lateral electric field (EL) and the compositive operation of Coulomb's forces with the ionized donors in the undepleted n+-regions. This effectively enhances the electric field of dielectric buried layer (EI) and increases breakdown voltage (Vb). An analytical model of the vertical interface electric field for the NI SOI is presented, and the analytical results are in good agreement with the 2D simulative results. EI = 568 V/μm and VB = 230 V of NI SOI are obtained by 2D simulation on a 0.375-μm-thick dielectric layer and 2-μm-thick top silicon layer. The device can be manufactured by using the standard CMOS process with addition of a mask for implanting arsenic to form NI. 2-μm silicon layer can be achieved by using epitaxy SIMOX technology (E-SIMOX).     

A new analytical model for optimizing SOI LDMOS with step doped drift region

In this paper, a new theoretical breakdown model of SOI RESURF LDMOS with step drift doping profile is proposed. According to this model, the 2-D electric field distributions of drift regions are investigated for both the incompletely and completely depleted cases. The doping profile and step number are optimized to improve the breakdown voltage and reduce fabrication cost. Finally, SOI LDMOS with various step numbers have been made using a 3 μm-thick top silicon layer and a 1.5 μm-thick buried oxide layer. The experiment results indicate that two-step drift doping can enable increase in the breakdown voltage by as much as 40% and decrease in the on-resistance by as much as 16% in comparison to the conventional LDMOS with uniformly doped drift region.

A new partial SOI power device structure with P-type buried layer

A new BPSOI (buried layer partial SOI) structure is developed, in which the P-type buried layer is implanted into the P⁻ substrate by silicon window underneath the source of the conventional PSOI. The mechanism of breakdown is that the additional electric field produced by P-type buried layer charges modulates surface electric field, which decreases drastically the electric field peaks near the drain and source junctions. Moreover, the on-resistance of BPSOI is decreased as a result of increasing drift region doping due to neutralism of P-type buried layer. The results indicate that the breakdown voltage of BPSOI is increased by 52–58% and the on-resistance is decreased by 45–48% in comparison to conventional PSOI in virtue of 2-D numerical simulations using MEDICI.     

具有复合k介质埋层的高压SOI器件解析模型

An analytical model for a novel high voltage silicon-on-insulator device with composite-k(relative permittivity) dielectric buried layer(CK SOI) is proposed. In this structure, the composite-k buried layer is composed by alternating Si3N4 and low-k(k D 2.65) dielectric in the lateral direction. Due to the composite-k buried layer, the breakdown voltage(BV) is improved both by the vertical and lateral direction. Taking the modulation effect of accumulated interface holes into account, an analytical model is developed. In the blocking state, the proposed model revealed the mechanism of hole accumulation above the Si3N4 buried layer and investigated the modulation effect of accumulated holes on the two-dimensional(2-D) potential and electric field distributions. This analytical model is verified by the simulation results. Compared with the low-k dielectric buried layer SOI(LK SOI), simulation results show that the BV for CK SOI is enhanced by 21% and the specific on-resistance is reduced by 32%, respectively.

Field Enhancement for Dielectric Layer of High-Voltage Devices on Silicon on Insulator

Based on the continuity theorem of electric displacement including interface charges, the enhanced dielectric layer field (ENDIF) for silicon-on-insulator (SOI) high-voltage devices is proposed. The following three approaches for enhancing the dielectric layer electric field E_I to increase the vertical breakdown voltage of a device V_B,V are presented: 1) using a thin silicon layer with a high critical electric field E_S,C ; 2) introducing a low-permittivity dielectric buried layer; and 3) implementing interface charges between the silicon and the dielectric layer. Considering the threshold energy of silicon epsiv_T, the formula of E_S,C on silicon layer thickness t_S is first obtained, which increases sharply with a decrease of t_S, and reaches up to 141 V/mum at t_S = 0.1 mum. Expressions for E_I and VByV are given, which agree well with simulative and experimental results. Based on the ENDIF, the new device structures are given, and an E_I value of 300 V/mum has been experimentally obtained for double-sided trench SOI. Moreover, several conventional SOI devices are explained well by ENDIF.

High-Voltage SOI SJ-LDMOS With a Nondepletion Compensation Layer

A new superjunction LDMOS on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) with a nondepletion compensation layer (NDCL) is proposed. The NDCL can be self-adaptive to provide additional charges for compensating the charge imbalance while eliminating the substrate-assisted depletion effect. In addition, the high-density oxide interface charges at the top surface of the buried oxide layer (BOX) enhance the electric field in the BOX and improve the vertical breakdown voltage (BV). Numerical simulation results indicate that a uniform surface electric field profile is obtained and that the vertical electric field in BOX is increased to $hbox{6} times hbox{10}^{6} hbox{V/cm}$, which results in a high BV of 300 V for the proposed device with the BOX thickness of 0.5 $muhbox{m}$ and drift length of 15 $muhbox{m}$ on a thin SOI substrate.
