Abstract

The negative curvature effect on the breakdown voltage of p-n junction, which may realize 1-D breakdown voltage due to the lower peak electric field at the junction, is proposed and verified by the fabrication of lateral diode on Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) together with MEDICI simulation. The experimental and simulation results show good agreements with the theoretical expectation. The proposed method is effectively applicable to the lateral, especially on SOI, power devices.
