Abstract

In this paper, a new small sized Lateral Trench Electrode Power MOS was proposed. This new structure, called LTEMOS(Lateral Trench Electrode Power MOS), was based on the conventional lateral power MOS. But the entire electrodes of LTEMOS were placed in trench oxide. The forward blocking voltage of the proposed LTEMOS was improved by 1.5 times with that of the conventional lateral power MOS. The forward blocking voltage of LTEMOS was about 240 V. At the same size, an improvement of the forward blocking voltage of about 1.5 times relative to the conventional MOS was observed by using ISE-TCAD which was used for analyzing device's electrical characteristics. Because all of the electrodes of the proposed device were formed in each trench oxide, the electric field was crowded to trench oxide and punch-through breakdown was occurred, lately.
