  • Patent number: 12622009
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a DMOS device with a junction field plate and its manufacturing method. A drain region is located on a surface of a semiconductor substrate. A source region is located in the semiconductor substrate at a bottom of a first trench. A gate electrode is located at the bottom of the first trench. The junction field plate improves an effect on reducing surface resistance. At the same time, a depth of trenches in the DMOS device may be reduced, and thereby a depth-to-width ratio of the device is reduced, improving the feasibility of increasing a voltage resistance level. Both the source region and the drain region in the DMOS device are led out on a same surface.

  • Patent number: 12537374
    Abstract: A photovoltaic system, a relay detection method, and a power supply system. When a fault, for example, sticking of the relay is detected, the controller stops sending a PWM driver gating signal to the inverter, and stops driving of a switch transistor in the inverter, and the inverter stops outputting power, and then determines whether a voltage difference between two ends of the relay is greater than a preset value, to determine whether the relay is faulty. The controller stops sending the PWM driver gating signal to the inverter only within a preset phase range of a voltage of the filter capacitor, to ensure that the voltage of the filter capacitor has a large value. Because the voltage of the filter capacitor is large, an alternating current grid-to-ground voltage is pulled up, to avoid detecting the fault as an alternating current grid-to-ground short circuit.
