  • Abstract
    Two advanced 60 V power MOSFET technologies are presented for automotive applications. The first is a submicron channel DMOS technology which yields a specific on-resistance of 1.7 mΩ-cm2, about half the value obtained by present production DMOS devices. The second is a trench DMOS technology developed to yield 1.1 mΩcm2 of specific on-resistance. Devices fabricated from both technologies exhibit superior rugged device performances in unclamped inductive switching (UIS). Design and process considerations are also discussed
