Trench gate integration into planar technology for reduced on-resistance in LDMOS devices
2010
In this paper, we report on the reduction of device resistance by up to 49% in junction isolated lateral double diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) field effect transistors by incorporating trench gates into conventional planar technology. The process and device simulations of this novel device topology are based on different state-of-the-art LDMOS field effect transistor concepts with and without a reduced surface field extension (buried p-well) for high voltage applications used for standard IC and ASIC manufacturing processes in commercially available foundry processes. A limited number of additional process steps are required for manufacturing such a device, and the well implants can remain unchanged. By a straight-forward combination of trench gate with planar gate topology the device resistance can be reduced from 217mi2mm 2 down to 110mΩ·mm 2 for an underlying 50V LDMOS device with a 3.3V gate oxide. The robustness of trench gate integration into existing planar gate technology is demonstrated by fully maintaining the specified blocking properties.
