“…In these devices, the electric field in the drain buried oxide (BOX) layer is enhanced greatly and breakdown voltage (BV) is mainly supported by the BOX under the drain. Another method is back-gate reduced bulk field (BG REBULF) [5]. BV is supported by the depletion layer and BOX under the drain and source at a proper positive back-gate bias.…”

“…BV is supported by the depletion layer and BOX under the drain and source at a proper positive back-gate bias. However, high positive back-gate voltage weakens the reduced surface field (RESURF) effect, resulting in increase of on-resistance and decrease of BV [5,6].…”
Abstract:A high voltage silicon-on-insulator (SOI) LDMOS with an accumulated charges layer (ACL) for double enhanced dielectric electric field (DEDF) is proposed. The electrons and holes can be accumulated in the ACL with a back-gate bias in off-state. These charges can enhance the dielectric field in the buried oxide (BOX) layer under the source and drain for improving breakdown voltage (BV). Moreover, the ACL can also enhance the reduced surface field (RESURF) effect. Compared with the conventional SOI and Shield-Trench SOI, BV of the DEDF SOI can achieve 1163 V at 1 μm BOX and 550 V back-gate voltage.

“…the BV is required to be guaranteed at all temperature ranges for HEV/EV applications. It was reported that the conventional L-Diode with planar Box layer exhibits the second peak of the recovery current at turn off due to the occurrence of the dynamic avalanche phenomenon [3,4,5]. This device operation results in a large switching loss.…”
Abstract:We have investigated the static and dynamic characteristics of high voltage lateral power diode (L-Diode) on silicon-oninsulator (SOI) substrate with planar / trenched buried oxide (Box) layer on the basis of device simulations. The conduction loss of the conventional L-Diode with planar Box layer is found to be reduced as a result of improving blocking capability by trenching the Box layer. In addition, the switching loss of the conventional L-Diode with planar Box layer, which stems from the second peak of the recovery current, is substantially reduced by adopting the trenched Box layer with suppression of the dynamic avalanche phenomenon.
“…Semi-insulating polycrystalline silicon (SIPOS) has been used as a surface passivation material to improve the performance of high-voltage planar devices [6][7][8]. As SIPOS is almost electrically neutral and has slight conductivity, it can be used for the surface passivation of p-and n-type silicon without showing the charging phenomenon.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
