Abstract :
The new approach of implementing a laterally diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) with In0.53Ga0.47As is investigated. Power device parameters such as specific on-resistance, gate charge, and breakdown voltage are examined using 2-D device simulation. Comparisons are made between In0.53Ga0.47As and Si LDMOS, showcasing the advantages of In0.53Ga0.47As LDMOS. Further ON-state analysis of the In0.53Ga0.47As LDMOS is then provided with a proposed enhanced structure that demonstrates excellent I-V characteristics.
