The CoolMOSTM (Infineon Technologies AG, Munich, Germany) has been regarded as a device that alleviates high-voltage limitations of unipolar power devices. However, although the theoretical considerations seem to confirm this possibility, this expectation has not been fulfilled to date. It appears that there are some limitations in the CoolMOSTM concept, and the paper deals with their identification. Part I concentrated on the theory of high-voltage superjunction and its implementation into a power VDMOS transistor, which resulted in the CoolMOSTM structure. This part is aimed at the physical and technological limitations that have been identified, taking advantage of numerical investigations of CoolMOSTM structures developed on the basis of a typical VDMOS one.

Characteristics of MOSFET
Various vital parameters influence their functionality, which is crucial for theory and electronics applications. First, channel dimensions, precisely length, and width, are pivotal. The size of these channels affects the transistor's ability to carry current and switching speeds; shorter channels typically enable...
