  • Abstract
    Energy capability and electrostatic discharge characteristics of an LDMOS device exhibit a strong dependence on both active area and geometry of the device. It results from coupling processes between electrical and thermal entities within various components in the structure. This paper deals with energy and ESD ruggedness details of LDMOS devices in terms of device geometry using experimental and simulation results.
