While record grooves have been studied by transmission electron microscopy with replica techniques, and by optical microscopy, the former are cumbersome and restricted and the latter limited by lack of depth of focus and resolution at higher magnification. With its great depth of focus and ease in specimen manipulation, the scanning electron microscope is admirably suited for record wear studies.A special RCA sweep frequency test record was used with both lateral and vertical modulation bands. The signal is a repetitive, constant-velocity sweep from 2 to 20 kHz having a duration and repetitive rate of approximately 0.1 sec. and a peak velocity of 5.5 cm/s.A series of different pickups and numbers of plays were used on vinyl records. One centimeter discs were then cut out, mounted and coated with 200 Å of gold to prevent charging during examination. Wear studies were made by taking micrographs of record grooves having 1, 10 and 50 plays with each stylus and comparing with typical “no-play” grooves. Fig. 1 shows unplayed grooves in a vinyl pressing with sweep-frequency modulation in the lateral mode.

In this paper, we investigate the evolution of threshold voltage (VTH) and on-resistance (RON) drifts in the silicon carbide (SiC) power metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) during the switch-mode operation. A novel measurement setup for performing the required on-the-fly characterization is presented and the experimental results, obtained on commercially available TO-247 packaged SiC devices, are reported. Measurements were performed for 1000 s, during which negative VTH shifts (i.e., VTH decrease) and negative RON drifts (i.e., RON decrease) were observed. To better understand the origin of these parameter drifts and their possible correlation, measurements were performed for different (i) gate-driving voltage (VGH) and (ii) off-state drain voltage (VPH). We found that VTH reduction leads to a current increase, thus yielding RON to decrease. This correlation was explained by the RON dependence on the overdrive voltage (VGS–VTH). We also found that gate-related effects dominate the parameter drifts at low VPH with no observable recovery, due to the repeated switching of the gate signal required for the parameter monitoring. Conversely, the drain-induced instabilities caused by high VPH are completely recoverable within 1000 s from the VPH removal. These results show that the measurement setup is able to discern the gate/drain contributions, clarifying the origin of the observed VTH and RON drifts.
