Performance characteristics of the new body contact on high-voltage SOI devices were studied. Our comparative investigation showed increased current drive, improved cutoff frequency, reduced on-resistance while attaining satisfactory breakdown voltage. The new body contact is applicable to both high and low voltage SOI MOSFETs. %K Three-Dimensional Simulation - Floating Body Effects - On-resistance - Breakdown Voltage - Isothermal Drift-Diffusion Model ¨C Cutoff Frequency. %U http://ee.majlesi.info/index/index.php/ee/article/view/52
