A new superjunction (SJ) LDMOS has been proposed with the complete charge compensation by the electric field modulation in this letter for the first time. The substrate-assisted depletion, produced due to the p-type substrate for the n-channel SJ-LDMOS, has been eliminated by the electric field modulation produced due to the step n-type buffered layer. The charge for the n- and p-type drifts has been depleted completely. Moreover, a new electric field peak has been introduced in the surface electric field distribution, which makes the lateral surface electric field uniform. The breakdown voltage has been improved for the new SJ-LDMOS compared with the conventional SJ-LDMOS because of the uniform surface electric field. By simulating and experimental results, the breakdown voltage of the new SJ-LDMOS with the electric field modulation has been increased by similar to 49% compared with the conventional LDMOS, and improved by similar to 30% compared with the conventional SJ-LDMOS.
