High-voltage thick layer SOI technology for PDP scan driver IC
Abstract
Based on 11-μm-thick silicon layer and 1-μm-thick buried oxide layer, a novel high-voltage thick layer SOI technology has been developed for driving plasma display panels (PDP). HV pLDMOS, nLDMOS, nLIGBT and LV CMOS are compatible with deep trench isolation. The length T, Y for HV pLDMOS and TD for HV nLDMOS are optimized to reduce the device size and satisfy the off-state breakdown voltage simultaneously. Interdigitated N <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">+</sup> &P <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">+</sup> and a deep P <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">+</sup> are adopted in the source region of HV nLDMOS and cathode region of HV nLIGBT to suppress parasitic NPN action and gain better on-state characteristics. A PDP scan driver IC using the developed high-voltage thick layer SOI technology shows that the rise and fall times of the output stages are about 17.6 ns and 16.6 ns respectively.
