In this chapter, the characteristics of the Si depletion mode MOSFET (DMM) devices are analyzed from the point of view of its use as the non-linear resistance for the BaSIC topology. Based on the analysis, the parameters of the internal device structure are varied to improve the trade-off between reducing the saturation current of the device and its on-resistance. In particular, reducing the gate oxide thickness is shown to significantly improve this trade-off curve. In addition, the UMOSFET structure is shown to be much superior to the DMOSFET structure. Significantly lower on-resistances are predicted for an optimized Si DMM device with the saturation current level needed to extend the short-circuit withstand time beyond 10 μs for commercially available 1.2 kV SiC power MOSFETs.

摘要

In this chapter, the characteristics of the Si depletion mode MOSFET (DMM) devices are analyzed from the point of view of its use as the non-linear resistance for the BaSIC topology. Based on the analysis, the parameters of the internal device structure are varied to improve the trade-off between reducing the saturation current of the device and its on-resistance. In particular, reducing the gate oxide thickness is shown to significantly improve this trade-off curve. In addition, the UMOSFET structure is shown to be much superior to the DMOSFET structure. Significantly lower on-resistances are predicted for an optimized Si DMM device with the saturation current level needed to extend the short-circuit withstand time beyond 10 μs for commercially available 1.2 kV SiC power MOSFETs.
