In this article, a novel high-k VDMOS with vertical stepped doping profile is presented. It possesses lower area specific on-resistance (R on A) in comparing to the conventional structure while the blocking capacity remains unaltered. Hence, the trade-off between the breakdown voltage and R on A is optimized as well as area specific on-resistance is reduced from 68% to 27%. The proposed structure shows analogous behavior as conventional structure with improved current driving capability from 42% to 24%. Thus, it exhibits improved device characteristics and possesses enhanced figure of merits than conventional structure.
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.
