Abstract
A power MOSFET suitable for synchronous rectification in 1-10 MHz switching power supplies is presented. Three device structures are compared to find the lowest on-state resistance, off-state capacitance product. The lightly doped drain region typical of most power MOSFETs is removed to give a body diode with a 1 ns reverse recovery time. Both of these types are needed for efficient operation at high frequencies. Process details and experimental results are also discussed.<>
