Single event burnouts (SEB) threaten the safe operation of high voltage SiC power devices in a wide range of applications. The triggering of this failure mechanism has been widely documented for the case of heavy ions and neutron interactions. In thi

The susceptibility to terrestrial cosmic rays (TCR) of power devices is strongly correlated to the peak of the local electric field, thus to the resulting local carriers' multiplication. In this paper, the soft gamma radiation from an Am241 source is

A non-invasive characterization technique for SiC power devices is proposed, which makes use of radioactive gamma sources for the choice of the optimum bias derating conditions to minimize field failures due to terrestrial cosmic radiation.

The design of robust power devices and the definition of their safe operating area require the quantitative characterization of charge multiplication in reverse biased junctions. This is mandatory especially for those mechanisms like single event bur

In this paper, some issues are solved that are encountered if using the high-energy gamma radiation for the non- invasive characterization of carrier multiplication in commercial, packaged SiC power devices under pre- breakdown conditions. For this s
