Abstract

A novel U-shape buried oxide lateral double diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) is reported in this paper. The proposed structure features ionized charges in both sides of dielectric between source and gate region to enhance the breakdown voltage. The dielectric between drain and drift region affects on the breakdown voltage by adding a new peak in the electric field profile. Two dimensional simulation with a commercial software tool predicts significantly improved performance of the proposed device as compared to conventional LDMOS structures.
