Optimization of BV and RDS-on by graded doping in LDD and other high voltage ICs

摘要

Transistor structure using a lightly doped drain (LDD) technique are disclosed. The present invention provides a reduced on-resistance in the LDD region, while retaining substantially all the high breakdown voltage advantage of the LDD technique. The advantage of the present invention is achieved by applying a non-uniform impurity design in the LDD region, increasing gradually from the gate-edge towards the contact.
