文摘The super junction（SJ） has been recognized as the ＂milestone＂ of the power MOSFET, which is the most important innovation concept of the voltage-sustaining layer（VSL）. The basic structure of the SJ is a typical junction-type VSL（J-VSL） with the periodic N and P regions. However, the conventional VSL is a typical resistance-type VSL（R-VSL） with only an N or P region.
