Performing Breakdown Voltage and Leakage Current Measurements on Today’s High Voltage Semiconductor Devices Wednesday, September 11, 2019 par : Tektronix Expert

After years of research and design, Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) power devices are becoming more viable. But, these devices, though high performance, come with challenges, including gate drive requirements. SiC requires much higher gate voltage (Vgs) with a negative bias for turn off. GaN, on the other hand, has much lower threshold voltage (Vth), requiring tight gate drive …
