Hello, everyone.
I’m Zhang from Engineering Department 2.

In my previous blog, I explained the importance of measurement arrangement in the switching evaluation of power semiconductors. This time, I will continue to explain other points to be considered about measurement arrangement.

Hello everyone.
I’m Nakamatsu from the Power Device Design Section.

This is a sequel to my last blog that explained the avalanche capability tests for power MOSFETs.

In the previous article, I explained that even if the avalanche energy is the same, the junction temperature T_j of the MOSFETs are different under different test conditions, and thus avalanche capability cannot be simply compared. Now, let’s consider case (3), with L load value L=3 µH and avalanche current I_AS=50 A for the same device as in the last blog.

Hello, everyone.

Hello everyone.
I’m Nakamatsu from the Power Device Design Section.

This is a sequel to my last blog that explained the avalanche capability tests for power MOSFETs.

In the previous article, I showed that the avalanche energy E_AS can be obtained by the following equation:

In my last blog, I explained how short-circuit tests are conducted, and this time, I would like to mention avalanche capability tests of power MOSFETs also as one of destructive tests.

Hello everyone, nice to meet you.
I’m Nakamatsu from the Power Device Design Section.

I am mainly involved in the evaluation of power devices (discrete power MOSFETs and IGBTs and their modules).

In this article, I would like to talk about short circuit tests of power devices.
