Abstract
The focus of this work is to perform the experimental comparative study between Diamond and the conventional MOSFET counterpart in order to verify the benefits observed by three dimensional numerical simulations, considering the same geometric factor, die area and bias conditions, as described in first publication of Diamond style layout. The devices were manufactured by using the commercial manufacture CMOS process from 0.35μm AMI (On-Semiconductor) that is available in MOSIS Educational Program (MEP). The experimental results prove that Diamond MOSFET presents a better performance than one found in equivalent conventional transistor, except in relation to the Early voltage, due the higher impact ionization in the drain region than one observed in the conventional counterpart. Therefore the Diamond layout style is an important alternative to improve the performance of the analog, current drivers and pass switches integrated circuits applications.
