An algorithm for extracting SPICE MOS level 2 model parameters for the high voltage MOSFET DC model is proposed. The optimization method for analyzing the nonlinear data of the current-voltage curve using the Gauss-Newton algorithm is proposed and the pre-process step for calculating the threshold voltage and the mobility is proposed. The drain current obtained from the proposed method shows the maximum relative error of 5.6% compared with the drain current of 2-dimensional device simulation for the high voltage MOSFET.

In the paper, the breakdown voltage of Trench D-MOSFET have been analyzed by using MircoTec. The technology for characteristic analysis of device for high integration is changing rapidly. Therefore to understand characteristics of high-integrated device by computer simulation and fabricate the device having such characteristics became one of very important subjects. A Trench MOSFET is the most preferred power device for high voltage power applications. The oxide thickness and doping concentration in Trench MOSFET determines breakdown voltage and extensively influences on high voltage. We have investigated the breakdown voltage characteristics according to variation of doping concentration from $10^{15}cm^{-3}$ to $10^{17}cm^{-3}$ in this study. We have also investigated the breakdown voltage characteristics according to variation of oxide thickness and junction depth.

This research was about shielded trench gate power MOSFET for low voltage and high speed. We used T-CAD tool and carried out process and device simulation for exracting design and process parameters. The exracted parameters was used to design shieled and conventional trench gate power MOSFET. And The electrical characteristics of shieled and conventional trench gate power MOSFET were compared and analyzed for their power device applications. As a result of analyzing electrical characteristics, the recorded breakdown voltages of both devices were around 120 V. The electric distributions of shielded and conventional trench gate power MOSFET was different. But due to the low voltage level, the breakdown voltage was almost same. And the other hand, the threshold voltage characteristics of shielded trench gate power MOSFET was superior to convention trench gate power MOSFET. In terms of on resistance characteristics, we obtained optimal oxied thickness of $3{\mu}m$.

Positive bias temperature instability (PBTI) degradation of n⁺ and p⁺ poly-Si gate high-voltage(HV) SiO2 dielectric nMOSFETs was investigated. Unlike the expectation that degradation of n⁺/nMOSFET will be greater than p⁺/nMOSFET owing to the oxide electric field caused by the gate material difference, the magnitude of the PBTI degradation was greater for the p⁺/nMOSFET than for the n⁺/nMOSFET. To analyze the cause, the interface state and oxide charge were extracted for each case, respectively. Also, the carrier injection and trapping mechanism were analyzed using the carrier separation method. As a result, it has been verified that hole injection and trapping by the p⁺ poly-Si gate accelerates the degradation of p⁺/nMOSFET. The carrier injection and trapping processes of the n⁺ and p⁺ poly-Si gate high-voltage nMOSFETs in PBTI are detailed in this paper.

This research analyzed the electrical characteristics of an 80 V optimal trench power MOSFET (metal oxide field effect transistor) for mobile applications. The power MOSFET is a fast switching device in fields with low voltage(<100 V) such as mobile application. Moreover, the power MOSFET is a major carrier device that is not minor carrier accumulation when the device is turned off. We performed process and device simulation using TCAD tools such as MEDICI and TSUPREM. The electrical characteristics of the proposed trench gate power MOSFET such as breakdown voltage and on resistance were compared with those of the conventional power MOSFET. Consequently, we obtained breakdown voltage of 100 V and low on resistance of $130m{\Omega}$. The proposed power MOSFET will be used as a switch in batteries of mobile phones and note books.

We propose a novel power metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) employing a strained-Si channel structure to improve the current drivability and on-resistance characteristic of the high-voltage MOSFET. A 20 nm thick strained-Si low field channel NMOSFET with a $0.75\;{\mu}m$ thick $Si_{0.8}Ge_{0.2}$ buffer layer improved the drive current by 20% with a 25% reduction in on-resistance compared with a conventional Si channel high-voltage NMOSFET, while suppressing the breakdown voltage and subthreshold slope characteristic degradation by 6% and 8%, respectively. Also, the strained-Si high-voltage NMOSFET improved the transconductance by 28% and 52% at the linear and saturation regimes.

A power device is a component used as a switch or rectifier in power electronics to control high voltages. Consequently, power devices are used to improve the efficiency of electric-vehicle (EV) chargers, new energy generators, welders, and switched-mode power supplies (SMPS). Power device designs, which require high voltage, high efficiency, and high reliability, are typically based on MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor) and IGBT (insulated-gate bipolar transistor) structures. As a unipolar device, a MOSFET has the advantage of relatively fast switching and low tail current at turn-off compared to IGBT-based devices, which are built on bipolar structures. A superjunction structure adds a p-base region to allow a higher yield voltage due to lower R_DS (on) and field dispersion than previous p-base components, significantly reducing the total gate charge. To verify the basic characteristics of the superjunction, we worked with a planar type MOSFET and Synopsys' process simulation T-CAD tool. A basic structure of the superjunction MOSFET was produced and its changing electrical characteristics, tested under a number of environmental variables, were analyzed.

Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET belongs to the family of wide-band gap devices with inherit property of low switching and conduction losses. The stable operation of SiC MOSFET at higher operating temperatures has invoked the interest of researchers in terms of its application to high power density (HPD) power converters. This paper presents a performance study of SiC MOSFET based two-phase interleaved boost converter (IBC) for regulation of avionics bus voltage in more electric aircraft (MEA). A 450W HPD, IBC has been developed for study, which delivers 28V output voltage when supplied by 24V battery. A gate driver design for SiC MOSFET is presented which ensures the operation of converter at 250kHz switching frequency, reduces the miller current and gate signal ringing. The peak current mode control (PCMC) has been employed for load voltage regulation. The efficiency of SiC MOSFET based IBC converter is compared against Si counterpart. Experimentally obtained efficiency results are presented to show that SiC MOSFET is the device of choice under a heavy load and high switching frequency operation.

Power MOSFET operate voltage-driven devices, design to control the large power switching device for power supply, converter, motor control, etc. We have optimal designed planar and trench gate power MOSFET for high breakdown voltage and low on resistance. When we have designed $6,580{\mu}m{\times}5,680{\mu}m$ of chip size and 20 A current, on resistance of trench gate power MOSFET was low than planar gate power MOSFET. The on state voltage of trench gate power MOSFET was improved from 4.35 V to 3.7 V. At the same time, we have designed unified field limit ring for trench gate power MOFET. It is Junction Termination Edge type. As a result, we have obtained chip shrink effect and low on resistance because conventional field limit ring was convert to unify.
