Abstract :
In this paper, a floating RESURF EDMOS (BV=55V, Ron,sp=36.5mOmega-mm2) with 400% enhanced Safe Operating Area (SOA) will be discussed and compared to the conventional EDMOS structure. The proposed EDMOS has both drain and source engineering to enhance SOA, not only via reducing the base resistance of the parasitic bipolar transistor, but also suppressing the base current of the parasitic bipolar transistor at high VGs and high VDs situations. Furthermore, the buried deep Nwell allow the device to have better tradeoff between breakdown voltage and on-resistance.
