Abstract
From this first studies, We have investigated the latch-up characteristics of various CMOS well structures possible with high energy ion implantation processes. In this study, we also investigated those of STI(Shallow Trench Isolation} structures with varing n+/p+ spacing and the depth of trench. STI structure is formed by T-SUPREM4 process simulator, and then latch-up simulations for each case were performed by MEDICI device simulator for latch-up immunity improvement. STI is very effective to preventing the degradation of latch-up characteristics as the n+/p+ spacing is reduced. These studies will allow us to evaluate each technology and suggest guidelines for the optimization of latch-up susceptibility.
