Abstract:
A high voltage device comprising:a semiconductor substrate; a first semiconductor layer formed between an underlying first insulating layer and an overlying second insulating layer buried within the semiconductor substrate; first and second drift regions formed over the second insulating layer in the semiconductor substrate and spaced apart from each other; an emitter impurity region formed in the first drift region; a collector impurity region formed in the second drift region; a second semiconductor layer adjacent to and insulated from the collector impurity region, and connected to the first semiconductor layer; a third semiconductor layer adjacent to and insulated from the emitter impurity region, and connected to the first semiconductor layer; a gate electrode formed over and insulated from the first drift region adjacent to the emitter impurity region; an emitter electrode electrically connected to the emitter impurity region and the third semiconductor layer, the emitter electrode being insulated from the gate electrode; a collector electrode electrically connected to the collector impurity region and the second semiconductor layer; and a field plate electrode formed between the collector electrode and the emitter electrode, and insulated from the gate electrode.
