本文提出一种高k介质电导增强SOI LDMOS新结构(HK CE SOI LDMOS),并研究其机理.HK CE SOI LDMOS的特征是在漂移区两侧引入高k介质,反向阻断时,高k介质对漂移区进行自适应辅助耗尽,实现漂移区三维RESURF效应并调制电场,因而提高器件耐压和漂移区浓度并降低导通电阻.借助三维仿真研究耐压、比导通电阻与器件结构参数之间的关系.结果表明,HK CE SOI LDMOS与常规超结SOI LDMOS相比,耐压提高16%—18%,同时比导通电阻降低13%—20%,且缓解了由衬底辅助耗尽效应带来的电荷非平衡问题.
A low specific on-resistance SO1 LDMOS with a novel junction field plate (JFP) is proposed and investigated theo- retically. The most significant feature of the JFP LDMOS is a PP-N junction field plate instead of a metal field plate. The unique structure not only yields charge compensation between the JFP and the drift region, but also modulates the surface electric field. In addition, a trench gate extends to the buffed oxide layer (BOX) and thus widens the vertical conduction area. As a result, the breakdown voltage (BV) is improved and the specific on-resistance (Ron,sp) is decreased significantly. It is demonstrated that the BV of 306 V and the Ron,sp of 7.43 mΩ.cm2 are obtained for the JFP LDMOS. Compared with those of the conventional LDMOS with the same dimensional parameters, the BV is improved by 34.8%, and the Ron,sp is decreased by 56.6% simultaneously. The proposed JFP LDMOS exhibits significant superiority in terms of the trade-off between BV and Ron,sp. The novel JFP technique offers an alternative technique to achieve high blocking voltage and large current capacity for power devices.
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.
