Abstract

The scaling of a non-planar super-junction (SJ) Si MOSFET based on SOI technology for low voltage rating applications (below 50 V) requires a subsequent optimisation of SJ unit. The scaling and the SJ optimisation are carried out with physically based commercial TCAD device simulations by Silvaco. T...
