The new stacked structure is characterized by double substrates and surface dielectric trenches(SDT). The drift region is separated by the P-buried layer to form two vertically parallel devices. The doping concentration of the drift region is increased benefiting from the enhanced auxiliary depletion effect of the double substrates, leading to a lower specific on-resistance(Ron,sp). Multiple electric field peaks appear at the corners of the SDT, which improves the lateral electric field distribution and the breakdown voltage(BV). Compared to a conventional LDMOS(C-LDMOS), the BV in the ST-LDMOS increases from 259 V to 459 V, an improvement of 77.22%. The Ron,sp decreases from 39.62 m?·cm^2 to 23.24 m?·cm^2 and the Baliga's figure of merit(FOM) of is 9.07 MW/cm^2.展开更多

Firstly, the reduction in the partial P pillar charges ensures the charge balance and suppresses the substrate-assisted depletion effect. Secondly, the new electric field peak produced by the P/P junction modulates the surface electric field distribution. Both of these result in a high breakdown voltage （BV）. In addition, due to the same conduction paths, the specific on-resistance （Ron,sp） of the PD SJ-LDMOS is approximately identical to the conventional SJ-LDMOS. Simulation results indicate that the average value of the surface lateral electric field of the PD SJ-LDMOS reaches 20 V/μm at a 15 μm drift length, resulting in a BV of 300 V.展开更多

By inserting a P＋ implant region along the outer and the inner boundary of the N＋ region at the drain side of a conventional LDMOS transistor, we fabricate the LDMOS-SCR and the SCR-LDMOS devices with a different triggering order in a 0.5/zm bipolar-CMOS-DMOS process, respectively. First, we perform transmission line pulse （TLP） and DC-voltage degradation tests on the LDMOS-SCR. Results show that the trigger voltage walk-in effect can be attributed to the gate oxide trap generation and charge trapping. Then, we perform TLP tests on the SCR-LDMOS. Results indicate that the trigger voltage walk-in effect is remarkably reduced. In the SCR-LDMOS, the embedded SCR is triggered earlier than the LDMOS, and the ESD current is mainly discharged by the parasitic SCR structure. The electric potential between the drain and the gate decreases significantly after snapback, leading to decreased impact ionization rates and thus reduced trap generation and charge trapping. Finally, the above explanation of the different trigger voltage walk-in behavior in LDMOS-SCR and SCR-LDMOS devices is confirmed by TCAD simulation.展开更多
