The off-state breakdown voltage (BV) is as high as 1021 V (800 V) defined at a drain leakage criterion of 10 μA/mm with floating (grounded) substrate. The corresponding breakdown electric field is 3.4 MV/cm and the Baliga's figure-of-merit (BFOM) is 1.6 GW/cm2. A small degradation of the dynamic on-resistance (Ron, d) about 30% is observed with a short pulse width of 500 ns and a quiescent drain bias of 60 V.

This is because the amount of induced charge increases by reducing the thickness of the oxide.
