A RF power LDMOS device on SOI

We have fabricated a partially-depleted SOI laterally diffused MOSFET (LDMOSFET) that is designed for use in radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PA) for portable applications. The device is fabricated on thin film SIMOX wafers and is suitable for integration with SOI CMOS. A high breakdown voltage is attained using a simple body contact scheme and the RF performance is exceptional.
