We have proposed the junction termination design employing shallow trench filled with silicon dioxide and field limiting ring (FLR). We have designed trenches between P+ FLRs to decrease the junction termination radius without sacrificing the breakdown voltage characteristics. We have successfully fabricated and measured improved breakdown voltage characteristics of the Proposed device for 1200 V-class applications. The junction termination radius of the proposed device has decreased by 15%-21% compared with that of the conventional FLR at the identical breakdown voltage. The junction termination area of the proposed device has decreased by 37.5% compared with that of the conventional FLR. The breakdown voltage of the proposed device employing 7 trenches was 1156 V, which was 80% of the ideal parallel-plane .junction breakdown voltage.

Power Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor's (MOSFETs) are well known for superior switching speed, and they require very little gate drive power because of the insulated gate. In these respects, power MOSFETs approach the characteristics of an "ideal switch". The main drawback is on-resistance RDS(on) and its strong positive temperature coefficient. While this process has been driven by market place competition with operating parameters determined by products, manufacturing technology innovations that have not necessarily followed such a consistent path have enabled it. This treatise briefly examines metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) device characteristics and elucidates important future issues which semiconductor technologists face as they attempt to continue the rate of progress to the identified terminus of the technology shrink path in about 2020. We could find at the electrical property as variation p base dose. Ultimately, its ON state voltage drop was enhanced also shrink chip size. To obtain an optimized parameter and design, we have simulated over 500 V Field ring using 8 Field rings. Field ring width was $3{\mu}m$ and P base dose was $1e15cm^2$. Also the numerical multiple $2.52cm^2$ was obtained which indicates the doping limit of the original device. We have simulated diffusion condition was split from $1,150^{\circ}C$ to $1,200^{\circ}C$. And then $1,150^{\circ}C$ diffusion time was best condition for break down voltage.

In this work, single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) were fabricated using the standard 180 nm complementary metal-oxide semiconductor process. Their small size of 15-16 µ m and low operating voltage made it possible to easily integrate them with readout circuits for compact on-chip sensors, particularly those used in the radiation sensor network of a nuclear plant. Four architectures were proposed for the SPADs, with a shallow trench isolation (STI) guard ring and different depletion regions designed to demonstrate the main performance parameters in each experimental configuration. The wide absorption region structure with PSD and a deep N-well could achieve a uniform electric field, resulting in a stable dark count rate (DCR). Additionally, the STI guard ring was implanted to mitigate the premature edge breakdown. A breakdown voltage was achieved for a low operating voltage of 10.75 V. The DCR results showed 286.3 Hz per ㎛² at an excess voltage of 0.04 V. A photon detection probability of 21.48% was obtained at 405 nm.
