摘要
Power MOSFETs are a commonly used device for many switching and power control applications. Their upper frequency limit spans a fairly broad range, from 1 MHz to 10 MHz. These devices are frequently used in spaceborne electronic systems where they encounter radiation exposure during operation. This paper reviews the current technology, its high frequency capability, the future trends for power MOSFET technology, and the degradation that the power VDMOS technology experiences in the space radiation environment.
