Abstract
A power metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) includes a substrate, a drift layer over the substrate, and a spreading layer over the drift layer. The spreading layer includes a pair of junction implants separated by a junction gate field effect (JFET) region. A gate oxide layer is on top of the spreading layer. The gate contact is on top of the gate oxide layer. Each one of the source contacts are on a portion of the spreading layer separate from the gate oxide layer and the gate contact. The drain contact is on the surface of the substrate opposite the drift layer.
