Heavy-ion data suggest that a common mechanism is responsible for single-event burnout (SEB) in 1200-V power MOSFETs and junction barrier Schottky (JBS) diodes. Similarly, heavy-ion data suggest a common mechanism is also responsible for leakage current degradation in both devices. This mechanism, based on ion-induced, highly localized energy pulses, is demonstrated in simulations and shown to be capable of causing degradation and SEB for both the MOSFETs and JBS diodes.
