Hello,

Can someone please describe in a few words the idea behind the VRG Mosfet?
Focusing on the Pros and Cons of the device.

Thanks!

Welcome to the PF.

Can you say where you have heard about it? Can you posts some links to more info on this type of device? What do you think are the pros and cons, and why?

I attached some article about it. the first one (named "The vertical replacement...") is the main one I'm using for my presentation.
I don't really know exactly the pros and cons, I know that there was a problem with the simple vertical Mosfet so they developed this type of transistor, I don't find enough information about this type of transistors, that's why I'm asking.

Thanks!

What kind of presentation is it? Is it for schoolwork? What year at university?

It's a presentation about the first file that I sent, it's in a course called Nano-Electronic devices, Third year in electrical engineering.

Schoolwork questions should normally be posted in the Homework Help section of the PF. I'll allow a discussion here for a bit, but only if you show a lot of effort on your part. We require students to do the bulk of the work here on the PF.

Now, The articles seem to have quite a bit of the information in them that you are asking about. You should be able to answer the questions in your first post above by reading the articles and summarizing them. Take a cut at that, and post your work here for us to check.

BTW, it looks like those papers are close to 15 years old -- do you know if the technique was ever used commercially?
 

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
