description An ultralow specific on-resistance (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${R} _{\mathrm{ on,sp}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) accumulation-mode LDMOS (ALDMOS) is proposed and investigated by simulations and experiments. The proposed ALDMOS features two separated integrated diodes (SID) above the N-drift surface, which forms high density electron accumulation layer in the on-state. Meanwhile, the SID not only assists depleting the N-drift to increase the N-drift doping centration (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${N} _{\mathrm{ d}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) in the off-state, but also modulates the lateral electric field to improve the breakdown voltage (<italic>BV</italic>). Thus, the proposed SID ALDMOS could achieve ultralow <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${R} _{\mathrm{ on,sp}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> and maintain high <italic>BV</italic> simultaneously. The layout and key fabrication processes of the SID ALDMOS are demonstrated. The measured results show that the SID ALDMOS realizes a <italic>BV</italic> of 483V and <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${R} _{\mathrm{ on,sp}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> of 29.3m<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\boldsymbol{\Omega } $ </tex-math></inline-formula>.cm<sup>2</sup>, with a high FOM value of 7.96MW/cm<sup>2</sup>. Its <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${R} _{\mathrm{ on,sp}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> is decreased by 33.7&#x0025; compared with triple RESURF LDMOS at the same <italic>BV</italic>.
