The analytical model for surface potential and electric field distributions of the novel triple RESURF SOI LDMOS is presented by solving the two-dimensional（2D） Poisson＇s equation, which can also be applied to single, double and conventional triple RESURF SOI structures. The breakdown voltage（BV） is formulized to quantify the breakdown characteristic. Besides, the optimal integrated charge of N-top layer（Q_（ntop）） is derived, which can give guidance for doping the N-top layer. All the analytical results are well verified by numerical simulation results,showing the validity of the presented model. Hence, the proposed model can be a good tool for the device designers to provide accurate first-order design schemes and physical insights into the high voltage triple RESURF SOI device with N-top layer.展开更多

An exponential approximation is proposed to simplify the trap charge calculation. Irradiation experiments with 60Co gamma rays for IO and core devices are performed to validate the simulation results. An excellent agreement of measurement with the simulation results is observed.展开更多

It is found that the resistivity of the trap-rich layer of generation 2（TR-G2）is higher than that of generation 1（TR-G1）, although the crystal morphologies of the trap rich layers are the same. In addition, the rf performance of two-generation TR-SOI substrates is investigated by coplanar waveguide lines and inductors. The results show that both the rf loss and the second harmonic distortion of TR-G2 are smaller than those of TR-G1. These results can be attributed to the higher resistivity values of both the trap-rich layer and the high-resistivity silicon（HR-Si） substrate of TR-G2. Moreover, the rf performance of the TR-SOI substrate with thicker buried oxide is slightly better. The second harmonics of various TR-SOI substrates are simulated and evaluated with the harmonic quality factor model as well. It can be predicted that the TR-SOI substrate will see further improvement in rf performance if the resistivities of both the trap-rich layer and HR-Si substrate increase.展开更多

It is confirmed that Si implantation into the buried oxide can create deep electron traps with large capture cross section to effectively improve the antiradiation capability of the SOI device. It is first proposed that the metastable electron traps accompanied with Si implantation can be avoided by adjusting the peak location of the Si implantation reasonably.展开更多

The unique design of the pattern inversion is used, and the pattern is transferred to be negative in the electron-beam lithography step. The oxidation process is used to form the silicon oxide tunneling barriers, and to further reduce the effective size of the quantum dot. Combinations of these methods offer advantages of good size controllability and accuracy, high reproducibility, low cost, large-area contacts, allowing batch fabrication of single electron transistors and good integration with a radio-frequency tank circuit. The fabricated single electron transistor with a quantum dot about 50nto in diameter is demonstrated to operate at temperatures up to 70K. The charging energy of the Coulomb island is about 12.5meV.展开更多
