description | Power transistors, such as the vertical, double-diffused, metal-oxide semiconductor (VDMOS), are used extensively
in the amplifier circuits of medical devices. The aim of this research was to construct a VDMOS power transistor
with an optimized structure to enhance the operation of medical devices. First, boron was implanted in silicon by
implanting unclamped inductive switching (UIS) and a Faraday shield. The Faraday shield was implanted in order to
replace the gate-field parasitic capacitor on the entry part of the device. Also, implanting the UIS was used in order
to decrease the effect of parasitic bipolar junction transistor (BJT) of the VDMOS power transistor. The research
tool used in this study was Silvaco software. By decreasing the transistor entry resistance in the optimized VDMOS
structure, power losses and noise at the entry of the transistor were decreased, and, by increasing the breakdown
voltage, the lifetime of the VDMOS transistor lifetime was increased, which resulted in increasing drain flow and
decreasing Ron. This consequently resulted in enhancing the operation of high-frequency medical devices that use
transistors, such as Radio Frequency (RF) and electrocardiograph machines. |
