Popis: This paper presents the device-level electrostatic discharge (ESD) robustness improvement for integrated vertical double-diffused MOS (VDMOS) and lateral double-diffused MOS (LDMOS) transistors by changing device structure. The ESD robustness of VDMOS transistor was improved by preventing current concentration and that of LDMOS transistor was improved by relaxing the electric field under the LOCOS oxide. We found the different gate-voltage dependence of the second breakdown current (It2) between VDMOS and LDMOS transistors. © 2011 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
