Abstract :
In this work the maximum UIS energy capability (Eas) for High-Voltage (600V-900V) Planar and SuperJunction (SJ) power MOSFETs is analyzed through experiment, TCAD simulation and analytical modeling. A new theoretical approach considering a buried heat source is presented to accurately predict Eas values in a wide range of voltage capability and load inductor values.
