• Floating vertical field plate (FVFP)
• Specific on-resistance (R-on,R-sp)

Anultra-lowspecific on-resistance (R-on,R-sp) trench SOI LDMOS with a floating vertical field plate structure (FVFPT SOI) is proposed in this paper. A floating vertical plate (FVFP) is introduced into the filled oxide trench of a conventional trench SOI LDMOS (CT SOI) to improve its electrical performance. We conduct related performance analysis to this device by simulation and investigate the effects of different parameters on its performance. The FVFP causes an assisted depletion effect especially for the trench surface regions. An ultra-low Ron, sp is therefore obtained in the FVFP device due to higher drift region doping concentration (N-d). A breakdown voltage (BV) of 188V and a Ron, sp of 0.9 m Omega cm(2) are realized on a 4.8-mu m-long drift region, a 7.5-mu m-thick top-silicon layer and a 0.5-mu m-thick buried oxide (BOX) layer by our simulation. Eventually, the Ron, sp for the FVFPT SOI can be reduced by more than 60%, while its BV is maintained the same class as the CT SOI, and the figure of merit (FOM) is enhanced by 155%. And a set of optimal parameters, including the structure parameters of plate and the property parameters of device, are obtained.
