MOSFET---------introduction
The metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is a
transistor used for amplifying or switching electronic signals.
In MOSFET ,a voltage drop across the oxide induces a conducting channel
between the source and drain contacts via the field effect.
The channel can contain electrons (called an nMOSFET or nMOS), or holes
(called a pMOSFET or pMOS), opposite in type to the substrate.

POWER MOSFET
If the gate-source voltage is at or above what is called the threshold voltage,
enough electrons accumulate under the gate to cause an inversion n-type
layer; forming a conductive channel across the body region. Electrons can
flow in either direction through the channel.
Switching speed is only limited by the rate that charge is supplied to or
removed from capacitances in the MOSFET. Therefore switching can be very
fast. This is what makes power MOSFETs so efficient at high switching
frequency.

SIMULATION---------steps involved
Developing a good simulation grid
Defining the initial substrate
Performing epitaxial growth
Performing layer deposition and geometrical etching
Performing ion implantation
Removing implant mask
Performing diffusion
Specification of electrodes
1--------developing a simulation grid
The number of nodes in the grid has a direct influence on simulation accuracy
and time. A finer grid should exist in those areas of the simulation structure
where ion implantation will occur, where p-n junction will be formed.
In our simulation process ,Grid is kept finest in the surface active region of
the MOSFET.
2---------developing initial substrate
Selecting semiconductor material as Silicon and impurity material as
Phosphorous
Selecting orientation of silicon as <100> and concentration of impurity as
1 * 1018 atoms/cm3 .
3---------------epitaxial growth
Using process menu for performing deposition epitaxial layer on gate surface
of MOSFET
At the temperature of 1200 degree Celsius for 10 minutes.
4----------------deposition and etching
Oxide, polysilicon and photoresist layers are deposited along with layer
thickness
Shape of etch is defined and etching is performed
5-------------------ion implantation
Implantation of boron with dose of 1*1014 atom/cm2 and implant energy of
80 KeV is performed
6-------------removing implant mask
Removal of barrier mask by performing etching.
Removing photoresist material by selecting all option to remove the implant
mask
7----------------specification of electrodes
Using Structure menu for specifying the location of electrodes so that device
can be used by device simulator for electrical characterization.
Aluminium contact is established by deposition and etching beforehand.

Applications of power MOSFET--------
Power MOSFETs with lateral structure are mainly used in high-end audio
amplifiers and high-power PA systems.
Power MOSFETs are well known for superior switching speed, and they
require very little gate drive power because of the insulated gate. In these
respects, power MOSFETs approach the characteristics of an "ideal switch".
The main drawback is on-resistance RDS(on) and its strong positive temperature
coefficient.
