Single-Event Burnout Mitigation in Silicon VDMOS Power Devices: An Electro-Thermal TCAD Study

Eusebio Rodrigo, José Rebollo, Xavier Jordà, José Camps, Llorenç Latorre and Miquel Vellvehi.Electronics 2026, 15, 1201Single-Event Burnout (SEB) is one of the most critical failure mechanisms in silicon powerMOSFETs operating in radiation environments, particularly under heavy-ion irradiation,and often limits device operation through excessive voltage derating. In this work, SEBrobustness of...
