A new vertical power MOSFET with over-current protection capability is proposed. The MOSFET consists of main power MOSFET cell, sensing MOSFET cell and lateral npn bipolar transistor. The proposed MOSFET may be fabricated by a conventional DMOS process without any additional fabrication step. Overcurrent state is sensed by the newly designed lateral bipolar transistor. Mixed-mode simulations proved that the overcurrent protection is achieved by the proposed MOSFET successfully with a small protection area less than 0.2 % of the total die area.

In this paper, a new lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor (LIGBT) is proposed to improve the latch-up performance without current path underneath the n+ cathode region. The improvement of latch-up performance is verified using the two-dimensional simulator MEDICI and the simulation results on the latch-up current density are 3.12${\times}$10$\^$-4/ A/$\mu\textrm{m}$ for the proposed LIGBT and 0.94${\times}$10$\^$-4/ A/$\mu\textrm{m}$ for the conventional LIGBT. The proposed SOI LIGBT exhibits 3 times larger latch-up capability than the conventional SOI LIGBT.

본 논문에서는 CMOS 공정기반의 BiCMOS LVDS 구동기를 설계하여 고속 I/O 인터페이스에 적용하고자 한다. 칩 면적을 줄이고 LVDS 구동기의 감내성을 향상시키기 위해 lateral 바이폴라 트랜지스터를 설계하여 LVDS 구동기의 바이폴라 스위칭으로 대체하였다. 설계된 바이폴라 트랜지스터는 20가량의 전류이득을 지니며, 설계된 LVDS 드라이버 셀 면적은 $0.01mm^2$로 설계되었다. 설계된 LVDS 드라이버는 1.8V의 전원 전압에서 최대 2.8Gb/s의 데이터 전송속도를 가진다. 추가적으로 ESD 현상을 보호하기 위해 새로운 구조의 ESD 보호 소자를 설계하였다. 이는 SCR구조에서 PMOS, NMOS의 턴-온 특성을 이용 낮은 트리거링 전압과 래치 업 현상을 최소화 시킬 수 있다. 시뮬레이션 결과 2.2V의 트리거링 전압과 1.1V의 홀딩 전압을 확인할 수 있었다.

A new Lateral Trench-MOS Bipolar-Mode Field-Effect Transistor(LTMBMFET) is proposed and verified by MEDICI simulation. By using a trench MOS structure, the proposed device can enhance the current gain without sacrificing other device characteristics such as the breakdown voltage. The channel region of the proposed device is formed between the trench MOS structure. So the effect of the substrate voltage is negligible when compared with the conventional device which has a channel region between the gate junction and the buried oxide layer.

0.4mm Resign Rule의 Super Low Power Dissipation, Low Voltage. Operation-5- Full CMOS SRAM Cell을 개발하였다. Retrograde Well과 PSL(Poly Spacer LOCOS) Isolation 공정을 사용하여 1.76mm의 n+/p+ Isolation을 구현하였으며 Ti/TiN Local Interconnection을 사용하여 Polycide수준의 Rs와 작은 Contact저항을 확보하였다. p-well내의 Boron이 Field oxide에 침적되어 n+/n-well Isolation이 취약해짐을 Simulation을 통해 확인할 수 있었으며, 기생 Lateral NPN Bipolar Transistor의 Latch Up 특성이 취약해 지는 n+/n-wellslze는 0.57mm이고, 기생 Vertical PNP Bipolar Transistor는 p+/p-well size 0.52mm까지 안정적인 Current Gain을 유지함을 알 수 있었다. Ti/TiN Local Interconnection의 Rs를 Polycide 수준으로 낮추는 것은 TiN deco시 Power를 증가시키고 Pressure를 감소시킴으로써 실현할 수 있었다. Static Noise Margin분석을 통해 Vcc 0.6V에서도 Cell의 동작 Margin이 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, Load Device의 큰 전류로 Soft Error를 개선할수 있었다. 본 공정으로 제조한 1M Full CMOS SRAM에서 Low Vcc margin 1.0V, Stand-by current 1mA이하(Vcc=3.7V, 85℃기준) 를 얻을 수 있었다.

A hybrid SOI bipolar-mode field effect transistor (BMFET) is proposed to improve the current gain. The device characteristics are analyzed and verified numerically for BMFET mode, DMOS mode, and hybrid mode by MEDICI simulation. The proposed SOI BMFET exhibits 30 times larger current gain in hybrid-mode operation by connecting DMOS gate to the p+ gate of BMFET structure as compared with the conventional structure without sacrifice of breakdown voltage and leakage current characteristics. This is due to the DMOS-gate-induced hybrid effect that lowers the barrier of p-body and reduces the charge in p-body.

본 논문에서는 Gate grounded NMOS(GGNMOS)와 Gate grounded Lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor(GGLIGBT), Silicon Controlled Rectifier(SCR), 그리고 제안된 ESD 보호 소자에 대한 전기적 특성을 비교 및 분석하였다. 우선 각 소자에 대한 I-V 특성 곡선을 시뮬레이션 함으로써 트리거 전압과 홀딩 전압을 확인하였다. 그 후에 각 소자에 대한 HBM 4k 시뮬레이션을 통해서 감내 특성을 확인하였다. HBM 4k 시뮬레이션 결과, 제안된 ESD 보호소자의 최대 온도가 GGNMOS와 GGLIGBT와 SCR에 비해서 낮기 때문에 그만큼 감내 특성이 개선되었다고 할 수 있으며, 이는 신뢰성 측면에서 우수한 ESD 보호소자임을 의미한다.

In this paper, a biosensor based on a gated lateral bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is proposed. The gated lateral BJT can function as both a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) and a BJT. By using the self-assembled monolayer (SAM) method, the C-reactive protein antibodies were immobilized on the floating gate of the device as the sensing membrane. Through the experiments, the characteristics of the biosensor were analyzed in this study. According to the results, it is indicated that the gated lateral BJT device can be successfully applied as a biosensor. Additionally, we found that the sensitivity of the gated lateral BJT can be varied by adjusting the emitter (source) bias.

A new trenched Hybrid Schottky INjection Field Effect Transistor (HSINFET) is proposed and verified by 2-D semiconductor device simulation. The feature of the proposed structure is that the hybrid Schottky injector is implemented at the trench sidewall and p-n junction injector at the upper sidewall and bottom of a trench. Two-dimensional simulation has been performed to compare the new HSINFET with the SINFET, conventional HSINFET and lateral insulated gate bipolar transistor(LIGBT). The numerical results shows that the current handling capability of the proposed HSINFET is significantly increased without sacrificing turn-off characteristics. The proposed HSINFET exhibits higher latch-up current density and much faster switching speed than the lateral IGBT. The forward voltage drop of the proposed HSINFET is 0.4 V lower than that of the conventional HSINFET and the turn-off time of the trenched HSINFET is much smaller than that of LIGBT.
