    Abstract

    A mathematical model for optimizing the 2-D potential distribution in the drift region of field-plate (FP)-assisted RESURF devices (Fig. 1) is presented. The proposed model extends earlier work [1-2] by including top-bottom dielectric asymmetry (typical in SOI devices [3]), non-zero field plate potentials VFP and grading of design parameters other than drift region doping. This generally-applicable, TCAD-verified [4], model provides a guideline for optimizing the drain extension in a wide range of FP-assisted RESURF devices.
