Analysis and Hardening of SEGR in Trench VDMOS with Termination Structure

View through CrossRef
Single-event gate-rupture (SEGR) in the trench vertical double-diffused power MOSFET (VDMOS) occurs at a critical bias voltage during heavy-ion experiments. Fault analysis demonstrates that the hot spot is located at the termination of the VDMOS, and the gate oxide in the termination region has been damaged. The SEGR-hardened termination with multiple implantation regions is proposed and simulated using the Sentaurus TCAD. The multiple implantation regions are introduced, leading to an increase in the distance between the gate oxide and the hole accumulation region, as well as a decrease in the resistivity of the hole conductive path. This approach is effective in reducing the electric field of the gate oxide to below the calculated critical field, and results in a lower electric field than the conventional termination.
