摘要: A novel low specific on-resistance (Ron,sp) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) p-channel lateral double-diffused metal-oxide semiconductor (pLDMOS) compatible with high voltage (HV) n-channel LDMOS (nLDMOS) is proposed. The pLDMOS is built in the N-type SOI layer with a buried P-type layer acting as a current conduction path in the on-state (BP SOI pLDMOS). Its superior compatibility with the HV nLDMOS and low voltage (LV) complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuitry which are formed on the N-SOI layer can be obtained. In the off-state the P-buried layer built in the N-SOI layer causes multiple depletion and electric field reshaping, leading to an enhanced (reduced surface field) (RESURF) effect. The proposed BP SOI pLDMOS achieves not only an improved breakdown voltage (BV) but also a significantly reduced Ron,sp. The BV of the BP SOI pLDMOS increases to 319 V from 215 V of the conventional SOI pLDMOS at the same half cell pitch of 25 μ, and Ron,sp decreases from 157 mΩ·cm2 to 55 mΩ·cm2. Compared with the PW SOI pLDMOS, the BP SOI pLDMOS also reduces the Ron,sp by 34% with almost the same BV.
