Firstly, the IG offers an extra accumulation channel for the carriers. Secondly, the subsidiary depletion effect of the IG results in a higher impurity doping for the drift region. A low specific on-resistance is therefore obtained under the condition of a slightly enhanced breakdown voltage for the IG SOI. The influences of structure parameters on the device performances are investigated. Compared with the conventional trench gate SOI and lateral planar gate SOI, the specific on-resistances of the IG SOI are reduced by 36.66% and 25.32% with the breakdown voltages enhanced by 2.28% and 10.83% at the same SOI layer of 3 μm, BOX of 1 μm, and half-cell pitch of 5.5 μm, respectively.展开更多

The new SOI structures are investigated with high-resolution cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy and spreading resistance profile. Experiment results show that the buried Si3 N4 layer is amorphous and the new SOI material has good structural and electrical properties. The output current characteristics and temperature distribution are simulated and compared to those of standard SOI MOSFETs. Furthermore, the channel temperature and negative differential resistance are reduced during high-temperature operation, suggesting that SOSN can effectively mitigate the selfheating penalty. The new SOI device has been verified in two-dimensional device simulation and indicated that the new structures can reduce device self-heating and increase drain current of the SOI MOSFET.展开更多
