A novel structure in reducing the on-resistance of a VDMOS

A novel structure of a VDMOS in reducing on-resistance is proposed. With this structure, the specific on-resistance value of the VDMOS is reduced by 22% of that of the traditional VDMOS structure as the breakdown voltage maintained the same value in theory, and there is only one additional mask in processing the new structure VDMOS, which is easily fabricated. With the TCAD tool, one 200 V N-channel VDMOS with the new structure is analyzed, and simulated results show that a specific on-resistance value will reduce by 23%, and the value by 33% will be realized when the device is fabricated in three epitaxies and four buried layers. The novel structure can be widely used in the strip-gate VDMOS area. (semiconductor devices)
