Abstract

Trench-Gate structures are proposed to improve the breakdown voltage of LDMOS as well as the second breakdown under forward biased gate. Two dimensional device simulator PISCES II has been used to explain the effects of the drift layer thickness on the breakdown voltage of the conventional LDMOS and Trench Gate LDMOS in terms of potential contour lines. The Trench Gate structure has shown improvements in the breakdown voltage by about 44% and 84% for $V_G$=0 V and $V_G$=15 V respectively.
