source contact is diffused. See figure 4 for power MOSFET cross section that incorporates the parasitic components listed above and figure 5 for a complete circuit model of the device. Fig. 4 - Power MOSFET Cross Section Fig. 5 - Power MOSFET Circuit Model In avalanche, the p-n junction acting as a diode no longer blocks voltage.
