Hot-Carrier Degradation in Power LDMOS: Selective LOCOS- Versus STI-Based Architecture

In this paper, we present an analysis of the degradation induced by hot-carrier stress in new generation power lateral double-diffused MOS (LDMOS) transistors. Two architectures with the same nominal voltage and comparable performance featuring a selective LOCOS and a shallow-trench isolation are in...
