The aim of this paper is to investigate the performances of a novel Super Junction (SJ) MOSFET in a PFC converter application. The MOSFET device has a SJ structure with deep trenches to lower the on state resistance per unit area. The area of application is in the field of DC-DC single-switch conver...
