The reliability of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) is traditionally determined via thermal lifetime acceleration stress tests. More recently it has been proposed that electric field has a prominent role in limiting lifetimes. ...
There is a need for a foundation of a research study aimed at investigations on near real-time reliability awareness of Gallium Nitride devices in high-frequency power converters for which we need advanced hardware and algorithms. This dissertatio...
Modern power and energy systems rely heavily on power electronics converters. The most significant component of these converters is the power semiconductor switching devices MOSFETs/IGBTs. Two critical parameters that provide real-time information...
