Modeling SiO2 Ion Impurities Aging in Insulated Gate Power Devices Under Temperature and Voltage Stress
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a formal computational methodology to explain how the oxide in semiconductors degrades over time and the dependence of oxide degradation on voltage and temperature stresses. The effects of aging are modeled and quantified by modification of the gate-source capacitance value. The model output is validated using experimental results of a thermally aged power semiconductor device.

Threshold voltage instabilities of present SiC-power MOSFETs under positive bias temperature stress
We study the threshold voltage (Vth) instability of commercially available silicon carbide (SiC) power MOSFETs or prototypes from four different manufacturers under positive bias temperature stress (PBTS). A positive bias near Vth causes a threshold voltage shift of 0.7 mV per decade in time per nanometer oxide thickness in the temperature range between -50°C and 150°C. Recovery at +5 V after a...
متن کاملSensitivity Assessment of Lightning Protection Device Aging Effect on Distribution Substation Insulation
Insufficient electrical endurance of equipment and insulation failure against overvoltage is one of the most effective reasons for failure the power line. Lightening, switching or other disruptive parameters can cause line outage or distribution substation failure. There are different devices used to improve the safety, reliability, and power quality of the system. Surge arresters are one of t...
متن کاملTrapping characteristics and parametric shifts in lateral GaN HEMTs with SiO2/AlGaN gate stacks
Recovery transients following blocking-state voltage stress are analyzed for two types of AlGaN/GaN HEMTs, one set of devices with thick AlGaN barrier layers and another with recessed-gate geometry and ALD SiO2 gate dielectric. Results show temperature-invariant emission processes are present in both devices. Recessedgate devices with SiO2 dielectrics are observed to exhibit simultaneous trappi...
متن کاملPower MOSFET Basics
Power MOSFETs have become the standard choice for the main switching devices in a broad range of power conversion applications. They are majority carrier devices with no minority carrier injection, superior to Power Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) and Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) in high frequency applications where switching power losses are dominant. They can be paralleled b...

This paper includes modeling and simulation of 180 MW units of pumped storage power plant with Variable speed machines. In this method, voltage source inverters are used instead of traditional cyclo-converters. This paper aims to control the voltage source inverters and maintain DC voltage at a constant value. AC/ DC/ AC converter is used in system configuration structure in order to control an...
