True Breakdown Voltage and Overvoltage Margin of GaN Power HEMTs in Hard Switching

Joseph P. Kozak et al.

Summary: This study investigates the dynamic breakdown voltage and overvoltage margin of a 650-V-rated commercial GaN power HEMT in hard switching. It was found that the dynamic BV of the device is significantly higher than the static BV, and the overvoltage margin is also underestimated when using the static BV for estimation. The device showed resilience to 1 million hard-switching overvoltage pulses with recoverable parametric shifts.
