The main content revolves round the on-state characteristics of the variation of a lateral width (VLW) LDMOS device. A three-dimensional numerical analysis is performed to investigate the specific on-resistance of the VLW LDMOS device, the simulation results are in good agreement with the analytical calculation results combined with device dimensions. This provides a theoretical basis for the design of devices in the future. Then the self-heating effect of the VLW structure with a silicon-on-oxide (SOI) substrate is compared with that of a silicon carbide (SiC) substrate by 3D thermoelectric simulation. The electrical characteristic and temperature distribution indicate that taking into account the SiC as the substrate can mitigate the self- heating penalty effectively, alleviating the self heating effect and improving reliability.
