Advanced DMOS Technology
These enhancement-mode (normally-off) transistors utilize a
vertical DMOS structure and Supertex’s well-proven silicon-gate
manufacturing process. This combination produces devices with
the power handling capabilities of bipolar transistors and with the
high input impedance and positive temperature coefficient
inherent in MOS devices. Characteristic of all MOS structures,
these devices are free from thermal runaway and thermallyinduced secondary breakdown.
Supertex’s vertical DMOS FETs are ideally suited to a wide range
of switching and amplifying applications where high breakdown
voltage, high input impedance, low input capacitance, and fast
switching speeds are desired.
