Abstract:
The channel contribution of the overall resistance of planar 3.3kV MOSFETs was investigated and improved by using a high-k gate dielectric. Despite a somehow large pitch, the channel contribution could be reduced significantly. In dynamic characterization the increased input capacitance did not show a reduction in switching speed. Moreover, reliable repetitive operation and rugged behavior in RBSOA could be demonstrated.
