Our results reinforce the notion of the need for an improved high-temperature gate bias (HTGB) test method — one which discourages the use of slow (greater than ~1 ms) threshold-voltage (VT) measurements at elevated temperatures and includes biased cool-down if room temperature measurements are performed, to ensure that any ephemeral effects during the high-temperature stress are observed. The paper presents a series of results on both state-of-the-art commercially-available devices as well as older vintage devices that exhibit enhanced charge-trapping effects. Although modern devices appear to be robust, it is important to ensure that any new devices released commercially, especially by new vendors, are properly evaluated for VT stability.

Polyimide is widely used insulation materials, such as power equipment, motor windings, multi layer insulated, and so on. As the operation environment is high temperature, high humidity, radiation, the dielectric insulation characteristic is decreased compared with pristine one. Especially, the space charge characteristics are obtained big different. Furthermore, the breakdown phenomenon is frequently produced. In this chapter, we discuss the dielectric phenomena through the viewpoints of charge accumulation under the following environment. High temperature, High humidity, DC application, PWM application, Radio-active rays (electron, proton).

This paper demonstrates the reliability of SiC vertical trench junction field-effect transistors (VJFET). Measurements are shown which prove that the device’s intrinsic gate-source pn junction is immune to degradation associated with recombination-enhanced dislocation glide. And after subjecting VJFETs to 1,000 hours of high-temperature bias stress, no measured parameter deviated from datasheet specifications. These results reflect the maturity and reliability of SemiSouth’s SiC VJFET technology, as well as tight process control over device parameters that are critical to circuit design and long-term system operation.
