Abstract
Parasitic capacitances of power semiconductors are a part of the key design parameters of state-of-the-art very high frequency (VHF) power supplies. In this poster, four 100 V
integrated power MOSFETs with different layout structures are designed, implemented, and analyzed in a 0.18 ȝm partial Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) process with a die area 2.31 mm2. A small-signal model of power MOSFETs is proposed to systematically analyze the nonlinear parasitic capacitances in different transistor states: off-state, sub-threshold region, and on-state in the linear region. 3D plots are used to summarize the intrinsic nonlinearities of the power devices. The nonlinear figure-of-merits (FOMs) are lowered by 1.3-18.3 times and improved by 22-95 % with optimized conditions of quasi-zero voltage switching. The layout impacts of the on-chip interconnections are analyzed with post-layout comparisons.
