| Abstract: | A new silicon-on-insulator(SOI) trench lateral double-diffused metal oxide semiconductor(LDMOS) with a reduced specific on-resistance R_(on),sp is presented. The structure features a non-depleted embedded p-type island(EP) and dual vertical trench gate(DG)(EP-DG SOI). First, the optimized doping concentration of drift region is increased due to the assisted depletion effect of EP. Secondly, the dual conduction channel is provided by the DG when the EP-DG SOI is in the on-state. The increased optimized doping concentration of the drift region and the dual conduction channel result in a dramatic reduction in R_(on),sp. The mechanism of the EP is analyzed,and the characteristics of R_(on),sp and breakdown voltage(BV) are discussed. Compared with conventional trench gate SOI LDMOS, the EP-DG SOI decreases R_(on),sp by 47.1% and increases BV from 196 V to 212 V at the same cell pitch by simulation. |
