A Brief Review of Heavy-Ion Radiation Degradation and Failure of Silicon UMOS Power Transistors

Silicon VDMOS power MOSFET technology is being supplanted by UMOS (or trench) power MOSFET technology. Designers of spaceborne power electronics systems incorporating this newer power MOSFET technology need to be aware of several unique threats that this technology may encounter in space. Space rad...
