Abstract
Achievable current density of low voltage power MOSFET components has increased significantly over the past years. Those devices are mainly used in converters for automotive auxiliary drives or renewable energy. The paper outlines state of the art technology and gives an outlook on further development, taking into account the particular requirements of the aforementioned demanding applications.
