Abstract
An analytical model for calculating the minimum drift region length of SOI RESURF diodes is presented with an expression for the maximum bre akdown voltage of the device. The minimum drift region length is deter mined from the condition that the maximum breakdown voltage due to the one-dimensional field along the vertical path equals that of the late ral electric field along the surface. Analytical results agree well wi th the simulations using PISCES II, and qualitatively with the experim ental results.
