  • Abstract
    A novel high voltage silicon RF LDMOSFET in SOI technology based on the 3D-RESURF concept is proposed. For the same blocking voltage rating, the new structure allows the LDMOSFET to have higher current handling capability at high gate voltages. This in turn causes the transconductance to be higher, leading to overall better RF performance.
