SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the representation of channel length modulation in SiC vertical MOSFETs, particularly how increased drain voltage affects the pinch-off phenomenon. Unlike lateral MOSFETs, vertical MOSFETs have their drain positioned away from the channel creation point, leading to unique electrical characteristics. The vertical configuration allows for efficient current flow from the source to the drain, enhancing voltage withstand capabilities. This design is crucial for applications in SiC power MOSFETs.
