摘要

Inadequate short-circuit withstand capability is a major issue that could impede the commercialization of SiC power MOSFETs and GaN HEMT devices for automotive and industrial motor drive applications. This chapter describes the basic short-circuit operating conditions. Analytical solutions for the short-circuit failure time are derived based on adiabatic heating conditions for the semiconductor chips. The analysis allows relating the short-circuit withstand time to the basic transistor device properties.
