Output Capacitance Losses in Wide-Band-Gap Transistors: A Small-Signal Modeling Approach

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Armin Jafari, Palliyage Srilak Nirmana Perera

Wide-band-gap (WBG) power semiconductor devices are gaining an increasing interest in power circuits, as they exhibit a low specific ON-resistance (RON) while providing a high blocking voltage. The energy dissipation corresponding to resonantly charging an ...

Measurement of Large-Signal Coss and Coss Losses of Transistors Based on Nonlinear Resonance

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Armin Jafari, Palliyage Srilak Nirmana Perera

In this letter, we present a new measurement technique to evaluate the large-signal output capacitance ( COSS ) of transistors as well as the COSS energy dissipation ( EDISS ), based on the nonlinear resonance between a known inductor and the output capaci ...

Conventional device scaling has been the main guiding principle of the MOS device engineering over these past years. However, this aggressive scaling would be eventually limited due to the inability to remove the heat generated by MOSFET devices. The power ...

On the Dynamic Performance of Laterally Gated Transistors

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Armin Jafari, Catherine Erine, Giovanni Santoruvo

Laterally gated transistors have been proposed as an innovative device architecture in which a semiconducting channel is controlled by side gates. In this sense, the gate can either be in contact with the sidewalls or be separated by a gap. In the latter c ...
