  • Abstract
    This paper presents an ESD self-protection scheme for a 700V high-voltage laterally diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) field effect transistor. The safe operating area (SOA) and breakdown failure mechanism of 700V LDMOS are analyzed using simulations and experimental results. The scalability of thermal failure current with LDMOS width is also demonstrated.
