Abstract |
A design method is proposed for medium voltage Lateral DMOS
power switches (30-100 Volts) used in "multi-switch" power integrated circuits.
Physical properties, layout, process data, and thermal dependence of the Lateral DMOSFET structure are considered. This methodology makes it possible to predict the electric performances (I-V characteristics, inter-electrode capacitances, switching characteristics, etc., ... ) of these devices based on their design. The
pertinence of this approach is demonstrated experimentally. |
