Abstract:
A novel technique is presented to enhance the electrical characteristics of Silicon-On-Insulator Lateral Double-Diffused Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (SOI-LDMOSFETs). The concentration of the electric field in localized regions of the drift area increases susceptibility to breakdown. The proposed technique employs a surface groove within the drift region to redistribute the electric field lines uniformly, thereby reducing peak field intensity. Figure-of-merit analysis reveals a 70% improvement with the Surface Groove SOI-LDMOSFET (SG-SOI-LDMOSFET), achieving 4.8 MW/cm2. These enhancements are demonstrated using the 2D device simulations. The technique improves device performance significantly without adding complexity to the fabrication process.
