Trench MOS Schottky Diodes: A Physics-Based Analytical Model Approach to Charge Sharing by Mohammed Tanvir Quddus, Alvaro D. Latorre-Rey, Zeinab Ramezani, Mihir Mudholkar

“…While the use of trenches to push electric fields away from the mesa surface is a widely employed concept for vertical power devices, a significant gap exists in the analytical modeling of this effect, with most prior studies relying heavily on computationally intensive numerical simulations. This paper introduces a new physics-based analytical model to elucidate the behavior of electric field and potential in the mesa region of a TMBS rectifier in reverse bias. …”
