Paradigm
Shift in Planar Power MOSFET Technology
Each new generation of microprocessors has seen the integration of a
larger number of transistors operating at higher clock frequencies with
the goal of enabling higher performance in computing and graphics
applications.

Scaling
New Heights in Power MOSFETs
Although the development of power MOSFETs began with the V-MOS structure,
the first commercially successful devices were based on the DMOS
structure. In the DMOSFET structure, the MOS channel is formed on the
surface by using the double-diffusion process with the channel length
controlled by the relative diffusion depth of the p-base and n+
source regions. A more heavily doped p+ region is added to the
structure to suppress the turn-on of the parasitic npn transistor that is
inherent in the MOSFET structure.

NCSU Professor Receives 100th Patent
Dr.
Jayant "Jay" Baliga, Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering
at North Carolina State University, has joined an elite corps of inventors:
He has earned his 100th patent, a mark reached by only a handful of technological
innovators. Other scientists with 100 or more U.S. patents include Thomas
Alva Edison, inventor of the incandescent light bulb, the phonograph and
the motion picture projector; Percy L. Spencer, who developed radar and
the microwave oven; and James Fergason, inventor of the liquid crystal
display.
