A novel lateral power fin metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) made on a silicon-on-insulator substrate is proposed. The fin silicon drift region of the proposed device is surrounded by a high-k (HK) passivation. The HK passivation enables the proposed device to realize a three-dimensional (3D) enhanced reduced-surface-field action and a 3D accumulation layer. According to the simulation results, when compared to a lateral power planar MOSFET with an HK passivation, the proposed device offers a 78% reduction in specific on-resistance at the same 100-V breakdown voltage. More comparative studies indicate that the static characteristic of the proposed device not only overcomes the silicon limit but also presents a significant advantage when compared to the prior art.
A novel insulated gate bipolar transistor modulated by a high- ${k}$ dielectric (HK-IGBT) is presented. By laterally alternating the HK-pillar and N-drift, HK-IGBT can offer a quick and complete depletion to the drift region during the turn-off transient. This merit greatly reduces the current varying time of an HK-IGBT. Moreover, HK-IGBT can obtain a better electric field distribution, which enables the carrier stored layer (CSL) to have a higher doping dose when compared to a typical carrier stored trench gate bipolar transistor (CSTBT). These advantages improve the relationship between the static and transient power losses. According to the simulation results, HK-IGBT obtains a 66% lower turn-off loss than that of a field stop (FS) IGBT with the same ON-state voltage. Moreover, by using a CSL, the performance of an HK-IGBT can be comparable with that of a super-junction IGBT (SJ-IGBT).

A novel insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) using a deep trench filled with SiO2 and high-k dielectric film (HKF) is presented. The deep trench with the HKF can provide rapid depletion of the drift region during the turn-off transient, eliminating the tail current and reducing the turn-off loss. According to the simulation results, with a relative permittivity of 475 and a 400 nm thickness for the HKF, the proposed device obtains a 62% reduction in the turn-off loss compared to a conventional field stop IGBT at the same on-state voltage and breakdown voltage. Moreover, compared to an IGBT using a trench filled with HK dielectric, the proposed device is more feasible to be fabricated and has a lower gate-to-anode capacitance, which can reduce the current and voltage oscillations during the turn-off transient.
In this study, SrTiO3 (STO) film without cracks is directly deposited on the surface of silicon. Some key characteristics of the film are measured. By taking the measurement results into the simulation, it is verified that the STO film is able to improve the surface electric field distribution of the lateral power devices. Meanwhile, the film can expand the process window to resist dose deviation by more than twice, which promises enhanced product yield. This study provides a reference for the material selection of High-k (HK) insulators, which have been used to develop the power semiconductor devices.
An improved trench lateral double-diffused MOSFET (T-LDMOS) is proposed. It has a quasi vertical super junction (QVSJ) drift region and adopts a resistive field plate (RFP) to help QVSJ satisfy charge-balance. The realization of RFP barely complicates the device fabrication, but it motivates QVSJ to significantly improve the relationship between breakdown voltage (BV) and specific on-state resistance (R ON,SP ). The simulation results show that compared with the conventional QVSJ T-LDMOS, the proposed one gains the R ON,SP reduced by about 79% under the same BV requirement of about 500 V. It therefore presents an excellent figure of merit (FOM) (FOM = BV 2 /R ON,SP , Baliga's FOM) up to 29.8 MW/cm 2 , which is superior to the prior art and exhibits a bright prospect of saving energy.
An oppositely doped islands insulated gate bipolar transistor (ODI-IGBT) is investigated for the first time. By adding one or several ODIs in the drift longitudinally equidistantly, the ODI-IGBT obtains a better electric field distribution than the field-stop IGBT (FS-IGBT) at OFF-state, which means a larger breakdown voltage. Moreover, at inductive load turn off transient, its space charge region is wider along with the better electric field distribution. Hence, less excess carriers are left when the anode voltage rises to the bus voltage. That is, its current decaying time is smaller than FS-IGBT, so does the turn off loss. Compared with the FS-IGBT in TSUPREM4 simulation, the ODI-IGBT can achieve a much lower turn off loss, which is only 52% of that of the FS-IGBT at the same breakdown voltage and same ON-state voltage. In addition, theODI-IGBT has a simplermanufacturingprocess and better immunity to process deviation than the super junction IGBT (SJ-IGBT).
An idea of applying a film of high-k (HK) material to the trench lateral double-diffused MOSFET (LDMOS) is proposed and studied by simulation. Through introducing an HK film around the SiO2 trench, the flow of electric flux is guided, and the distribution of the surface electric field is modulated. As a result, the tradeoff relationship between breakdown voltage (BV) and specific ON-resistance (R-ON,R- sp) is improved. Simulation results indicate that the HK film with a permittivity of 475 and a thickness of 400 nm can effectively reduceRON, sp at the BV class of 200 V. Compared with the conventional device without HK, the proposed one is in a position to save about 60% of the chip area, while they are having the approximateperformance andmanufacturing complexity. Hence, the application of HK film is promising to improve the cost performance of trench LDMOS.
A snapback-free and low turn-off loss silicon on insulator LIGBT with reverse-conducting capability (RC-LIGBT) is proposed and investigated in this paper. By employing P-type polysilicon (P-poly) double trench gates at the anode region of the proposed device (DTA-LIGBT), the n-drift region located between the P-type double trench gates (DPL region) is fully depleted because of the work function difference between the P-poly and the DPL region. Thus the resistance between the shorted N+ anode and the N-buffer is significantly increased, which effectively eliminates the snapback phenomenon. The simulation results reveal that the proposed structure completely eliminates the snapback effect with the reverse conducting voltage of 1.05 and 1.25 V at J = 100 and 400 A cm(-2), respectively. In addition, the LDMOS is automatically turned on when the device is operating at high voltage, which improves the immunity of latch-up and the short-circuit capability of the device. Simultaneously, the turn-off time of the proposed structure and the turn-off loss are reduced creased by 53.5% and 53% compared with that of the separated shorted-anode LIGBT (SSA-LIGBT), respectively. Moreover, the short-circuit time of the DTA-LIGBT (p) is increased by 186% compared with the SSA-LIGBT.
A design concept of variation vertical doping is proposed to upgrade the deep-trench lateral double-diffused metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor. Due to the proposal, a drift region in the form of charge-balance super-junction is first gained in such a device. Hence, the relationship between the breakdown voltage and the specific on-resistance is significantly improved. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposal is valid to increase the theoretical limit of the figure of merit to be about 44.9 MW/cm $^{\textsf {2}}$ , more than twice of that of the prior art. Besides, a feasible realization method is presented and studied.
A super-junction (SJ) deep-trench (DT) lateral double-diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor improved by tilting the DT sidewalls is proposed. The incline of sidewalls introduces some vertically varying charges into the SJ drift regions on both sides of the DT. Therefore, the adverse effect of the DT on the surface electric field distribution is withstood, and the device can approach an ideal state of charge-balance. Simulation results show compared with a conventional device, which has the same drift region concentration and the same size but the perpendicular sidewalls, the proposed device presents a better figure of merit over 2.5 times higher. Besides, a feasible fabrication process for the proposal is presented and discussed.
To resolve air traffic congestion and ensure flight safety, ADS-B provides a strong guarantee.
