An Investigation into the Dynamic Behavior of 3.3kV MOSFETs Body Diode

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a dynamic investigation of the body diode behavior of MOSFETs rated for 3.3kV applications. The body diodes of MOSFETs with different cell designs and pitch sizes have been used. The turn-off behavior of the body diode is compared to that of a 3.3kV JBS diode.
