Abstract :
The device characteristics of a quasi-SOI power MOSFET were investigated to obtain its optimum device structure. The oxide at the original bottom surface of the bulk power MOSFET of the quasi-SOI power MOSFET formed by reversed silicon wafer direct bonding acts as the buried oxide of the conventional SOI power MOSFET. The short channel effect of the quasi-SOI power MOSFET was larger than that in the conventional SOI power MOSFET. It was suppressed by increasing the width of the oxide in the body region, and the parasitic bipolar effect was suppressed by decreasing it. We also propose a new device structure which can suppress the short channel effect and parasitic bipolar effect of a quasi-SOI power MOSFET based on the results of these experiments
