Abstract :
A 5th generation SMARTMOSTM 0.65 μm BiCMOS technology geared for advanced power applications yields the lowest specific on-resistance reported to date for the 20-30 V breakdown voltage range. A specific on-resistance of 0.34 mΩ-cm2 is achieved (VGS=10 V) for an avalanche breakdown voltage of 27 V. Experimental results are compared with numerical simulation and prior results in the literature. The effects of metal debiasing are also characterized
