Abstract: | 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. |
