VMOS

Compared with commercially


available planar MOSFETs, VMOS
FETs have reduced channel resistance
levels and higher current and power
ratings.

VMOS FETs have a positive


temperature coefficient that will
combat the possibility of thermal
runaway.

The reduced charge storage levels result in faster switching times for VMOS
construction compared to those for conventional planar construction.

MESFETs
A MESFET (metal–semiconductor field-effect transistor) is a field-effect
transistor semiconductor device similar to a JFET with a Schottky (metal–
semiconductor) junction instead of a p–n junction for a gate.
