Abstract
In this letter, we propose and demonstrate a novel device based on a floating reduced surface field (FRESURF) concept which allows the realization of significantly higher breakdown voltage in a thin epitaxy-based power IC technology. The newly proposed device with the floating buried layer pulled back from the source side is able to realize an enhanced breakdown voltage (BVdss) without degrading the specific on-resistance (RdsonA). BVdss-RdsonA values like 47 V-0.28 mΩ·cm2 or 93 V-0.82 mΩ·cm2 have been realized with a conventional power IC technology without any added process complexity.
