This PowerMOSFET is the latest developmentof
STMicroelectronicsunique”SingleFeature
Size” strip-based process.The resulting transi-
stor showsextremelyhigh packing densityfor low
on-resistance, rugged avalanche characteristics
and less critical alignment steps therefore a remarkablemanufacturingreproducibility.
