Abstract :
The ruggedness and performance of ultra-high density low-voltage power MOSFETs are reported. It is shown that rugged power MOSFETs with ultra-high static and switching performance can be developed using scaled silicon technologies. The experimental results are supported with extensive numerical simulations which clearly show important physical effects as the technology is scaled
