  • Patent number: 10950691
    Abstract: A power converter circuit includes an inductor and rectifier circuit having an inductor connected in series with an electronic switch, and a rectifier circuit, and a controller for generating a drive signal for driving the electronic switch. The electronic switch has drain, source and gate nodes, drift and compensation cells each including a drift region of a first doping type and a compensation region of a second doping type, and a control structure connected between the drift region of each of the drift and compensation cells and the source node. Each drift region is coupled to the drain node and each compensation region cells is coupled to the source node. A first type doping concentration N1 of the drift region is higher than a first doping level L1, and a second type doping concentration N2 of the compensation region is higher than a second doping level L2.

  • Patent number: 10475880
    Abstract: A transistor device includes drain, source and gate nodes, a plurality of drift and compensation cells each including a drift region of a first doping type and a compensation region of a second doping type complementary to the first doping type, and a control structure connected between the drift region of each of the drift and compensation cells and the source node. Each drift region is coupled to the drain node and each compensation region cells is coupled to the source node. A first type doping concentration N1 of the drift region is higher than a first doping level L1, and a second type doping concentration N2 of the compensation region is higher than a second doping level L2.
