SPEAKER:   Yang Gao
Yang Gao is a Ph.D candidate in PSD group, SPEC. Research interest lies in low voltage Silicon power device design, modeling and application.

TOPIC:   Design of a novel self-aligned trench power JFET for DC-DC Converters

ABSTRACT:   A novel self-aligned process technique for fabricating trench Power JFET using 4 mask layers (trench, contact, metal and pad) is proposed. A unit cell pitch of 1.1 um can be obtained. The specific on-resistance of the device is reduced to 16.9 mٕmm2, which is close to state-of-art of power MOSFET. The overall performance of the proposed power JFET indicates that it could be a good candidate for low-side switch in power DC-DC converters.
