Abstract

A methodology for extracting the lateral electric field (Ex) in the drain extension of thin silicon-on-insulator high-voltage field-plate assisted reduced surface field (RESURF) devices is detailed including its limits and its accuracy. Analytical calculations and technology computer-aided design device modeling corresponding to experimental data are used. It is shown how to obtain trapped interface charge distributions (e.g., due to hot-carrier injection) from the extracted fields. Thus, a new method for determining the position and quantity of injected charges in the drain extension of RESURF power transistors is introduced.
