why did ST add a 100pf 1000V 1210 parallel capacitor with MOSFET in LLC resonant topology in AN4599?

Welcome, @Aghar.1​, to the community!

this is extensively discussed in AN2644, appendix C: Power MOSFET effective Coss and half-bridge midpoint's transition times.

Good luck!

Thanks for your good answer @ peter Bensch , actually we have used L6699D with Infineon Coolmos IPAN50R500CE, and it worked properly.

But when we changed this Mosfet with IPD60R600P7S it couldn't start under full load, I think it is a problem from startup. finally, we solved it by adding a 100pf capacitor in parallel with the lower Mosfet. Would you please help me whats the root of this problem? Or do you have a better solution? Please do not hesitate to contact me if any further information is needed.

I have attached the Datasheets of these two Mosfet.
