Electric field optimized LDMOST using multiple decrescent and reverse charge regions

A lateral double-diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor （LDMOST） with multiple n-regions in the p-substrate is investigated in detail. Because of the decrescent n-regions, the electric field distribu- tion is higher and more uniform, and the breakdown voltage of the new structure is increased by 95%, in comparison with that of a conventional counterpart without substrate n-regions. Based on the trade-off between the breakdown voltage and the on-resistance, the optimal number of n-regions and the other key parameters are achieved. Furthermore, sensitivity research shows that the breakdown voltage is relatively sensitive to the drift region doping and the n-regions＇ lengths.
