Increasing the space between Hv-pwell and n-drift region and reducing the n-drift implant dose can dramatically reduce the device hot carder degradations, for the maximum impact ionization rate near the Bird Beak decreases or its location moves away from the Si/SiO2 interface. This conclusion has been analyzed in detail by using the MEDICI simulator and it is also confirmed by the test results.展开更多
