If the gate drive voltage, VGS, has a positive bias, as in the case
of N-channel MOSFET. Then, VSD will be a voltage that is
determined by the on-resistance RDS(on) (VSD = ID x RDS(on)), as
shown on the figure to the right. Therefore, it is possible to get
very low forward voltage similar to a Schottky barrier diode
(SBD).

5. The fall time, tf, controls the switching loss and tf is computed using formula (3) above. Both QG and QGD are
important items when designing for high frequency operation.
. For high-speed switching (over F SW =100kHz)
applications, the smaller the RON/QG or RON/QGD the more efficiency the MOSFET device will become

Avalanche Breakdown
It is a phenomenon that can occur in both insulating
and semiconductor materials.
It is a form of electric current multiplication that can
allow very large currents to flow within materials
which are otherwise good insulators.
It is a type of electron avalanche.
The Avalanche process occurs when the carriers in the
transition region are accelerated by the electric field
to energies sufficient to free electron-hole pairs via
collisions with bond electrons.
