提出了一种应用于射频领域的复合多晶硅栅LDMOS结构(DMG-LDMOS),并给出了工艺实现方法。此结构采用了栅工程的概念,所设计的栅电极由S-栅和D-栅两块电极并列组成,其中,S-栅采用功函数较高的P^+多晶硅;D-栅采用功函数较低的n^+多晶硅。MEDICI对n沟道DMG-LDMOS和n沟道普通LDMOS的模拟结果表明,该结构能够提高器件的沟道载流子速度,从而增加器件的跨导值,并且该结构在提高器件击穿电压的同时还能提高器件的截止频率。
A novel DMG-LDMOS (dual-material gate, LDMOS) structure for RF field was proposed accompanied by the concrete realization method in process. The gate of the DMG-LDMOS consists of S-gate (the first gate approaching source with high work-function material p+ poly) and D-gate (the second gate approaching drain with low work-function material n+ poly) using the effective concept “gate engineering”. The MEDICI simulations reveal that the DMG-LDMOS can increase the average velocity of electron in the channel, resulting in a higher transconductance. Meanwhile, this structure can increase the breakdown voltage and enhance the maximum cut-off frequency.
