On the estimation of dielectric breakdown voltage when breakdown voltage follows the 3 parameter Weibull distribution.

Breakdown Voltage of High-voltage GaN FETs

GaN FETs offer superior advantages in high-voltage and high-temperature operation due to its large bandgap (3.4 eV) and high breakdown field strength (3.3 MV/cm). This combination of the large bandgap and high breakdown field makes these devices very attractive for power switching applications. In this regard, a key figure of merit is the breakdown voltage of the transistor, which must be high ...

Breakdown behaviour of high-voltage GaN-HEMTs

Investigation of Voltage Breakdown Caused by Microparticles

Degradation of RF accelerating cavities caused by field emission currently limits the design of future linear accelerators. When field emission is the problem, foreign particles often deserve the blame, but they can be ”processed” away if the cavity electric field is high enough to initiate voltage breakdown near the particle site, in which case the troublesome particle vaporizes, leaving behin...

Influence of Copper Particles on Breakdown Voltage and Frequency-Dependent Dielectric Property of Vegetable Insulating Oil

The insulating performance of oil is vulnerable to particles especially the conductive particles. This paper investigated the influence of copper particles of micrometer size on the breakdown strength and frequency-dependent properties of vegetable oil. The AC breakdown voltage of contaminated vegetable oil with copper particles of different numbers (ranging from 103 to 106) was measured. The f...
