Supervisor: Dr. John SuehleProject: Measurement of ultra-fast current transients in SiC MOSFETs• Measured sub-microsecond current transients in 4H-SiC MOSFETs by designing fast current measurement circuits • Characteristic transient current overshoot behavior was observed and was attributed to finite time response of interface, near-interface and oxide traps• Developed a time dependent trap occupation model and simulated the transient behavior of SiC MOSFETs to extract the energy-dependent trap capture cross-sections• Tools used: Probe station, semiconductor parameter analyser (4155), digital storage oscilloscope, ORCAD Spice for circuit design and optimization, Eagle Layout for PCB design
