The basic structure of a power MOSFET is a pn-junction giving forward blocking capability. In reverse operation the pn-junction is forward biased and the device operates as a conducting diode. Unfortunately this diode has a poor dynamic behaviour. This paper presents an approach to achieve the ...

Here, the MOSFET operates in linear mode. The power dissipation is very high (e.g. 800W) which bares the potential for MOSFET destruction as being discussed later. The SOA diagram is a tool to check for a given parameter set of VDS, IDS and ...
Presents information on a study that discussed a reliable configuration for triggering a series string of power metal oxide semiconductor devices without the use of transformer coupling.

Changes in operating parameters at 200 degrees C have been measured for four devices, an NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT), an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), an N-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET), and a P-type MOS controlled thyristor (MCT). ...

A MOSFET (or generally a system) is considered to be thermally unstable in case the power generation (P_generated) rises faster than the power dissipation (P_dissipated) over temperature. That means: In such a condition the temperature of the system is not stable and the system is not in ...
While my understanding of its operation has improved substantially, I wanted to share my insights here and humbly invite any corrections or further insights. From what I've gathered, a MOSFET operates by utilizing an electric field generated by the voltage difference...

During research another confusing piece of info I came across, which completely contradicts what I had come to understand about power mosfets, was that they can fail in operation above the ZTC point even when within the SOA. I thought the whole point of a "power mosfet" was that it could...
