This article explores the scope of drain-extended FinFET (DeFinFET) as a high-voltage (HV) device contender for Fin-based SoC applications. For the first time, guidelines for efficient and reliable HV integration in sub-14 nm FinFET nodes are given. Up to what extent DeFinFET stands as a promising choice is carefully investigated through device-circuit interactions and reliability analysis of range of DeFinFET options. The same is then compared, in terms of radio frequency (RF)-power amplifier (PA) performance, dc–dc conversion efficiency, electrostatic discharge (ESD) robustness, and hot carrier immunity (HCI) reliability, with other HV alternatives in FinFET nodes and its planar counterpart, that is drain-extended MOS (DeMOS).
