Consequently, the effective doping can be two times higher for the hexagonal layout. We have obtained a record value for the specific on-resistance (R/sub ds,on/) of 58 m/spl Omega/.mm/sup 2/ at V/sub gs/=10 V for a breakdown voltage (BV/sub ds/,) of 85 V.

The drift region resistance decreases strongly with pitch size, potentially offering extremely low specific resistances when moving to smaller pitch sizes. However, at a certain pitch, one will have decreased the drift region component such that other contributions will start to play a dominant role and need to be taken into account when optimising such devices. Recently, the first vertical RESURF MOSFETs, manufactured using a trench etch and vapor phase doping (VPD) process, were presented with pitch size down to 4 /spl mu/m. Based on the electrical characterisation of these devices, we evaluate the various contributions to the overall specific resistance and their effect on the attainable figure-of-merits (FOMs) of vertical RESURF devices with DMOS layout at such small pitch.","PeriodicalId":303825,"journal":{"name":"2004 Proceedings of the 16th International Symposium on Power Semiconductor Devices and ICs","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125254169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
