A novel 1200V fully implanted junction isolation technology for high voltag
e integrated circuits (HVICs) is proposed. This technique employs the varia
tion in lateral doping (VLD) technique to achieve change in the thickness a
s well as the concentration of the drift region in a lateral power device t
o enable effective distribution of the electric field and low on-state resi
stance. Detailed 2D numerical simulations clearly validate this new approac
h and show enhancement performance of a lateral MOSFET in comparison to a d
evice with a uniformly doped drift region.
