Abstract
In thsi paper a novel optimum variation lateral doping 4H-SiC lateral double-diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) field-effect transistor with improved performance is proposed and numerically simulated. For the proposed 4H-SiC LDMOS, an optimized three-stage variation of lateral doping (VLD) p-top layer is employed in the drift region; thus the doping concentration of the n-drift region can be significantly increased, resulting an ultra-low specific resistance (R
on,sp). The breakdown voltage (BV) is also improved, since the electric field distribution of the drift region is optimized. The current saturation characteristic, gate–drain capacitance (C
GD) and gate-to-drain charge (Q
gd) of the proposed device are all improved, thanks to the effect of the source-connected p-top region. Compared with a conventional LDMOS, the numerical simulation results show that the BV, R
on,sp and Q
gd of the proposed LDMOS are improved by more than 11.9%, 47.3% and 46.3%, respectively. The three-dimensional simulation result indicates that the entire three-stage p-top VLD layer can be produced by one-time fabrication process, which brings great convenience to future production.
