Abstract
This article investigates the single event effects (SEEs) of SiC power MOSFETs by laser irradiation. The single event burnout (SEB) and leakage current increase phenomenon are observed under pulsed laser two-photon absorption (TPA) conditions. The energy threshold for SEE corresponding to different bias voltages is obtained. An improved equivalent linear energy transfer (ELET) model is proposed to correlate the laser-induced SEE and the heavy-ion-induced SEE in SiC MOSFETs. Experimental results show that when laser energy exceeds 42 nJ, the error between the ELET values from the improved model and linear energy transfer (LET) from heavy-ion experiments is as low as 5%, significantly enhancing the accuracy of laser evaluation.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices publishes original and significant contributions relating to the theory, modeling, design, performance and reliability of electron and ion integrated circuit devices and interconnects, involving insulators, metals, organic materials, micro-plasmas, semiconductors, quantum-effect structures, vacuum devices, and emerging materials with applications in bioelectronics, biomedical electronics, computation, communications, displays, microelectromechanics, imaging, micro-actuators, nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, photovoltaics, power ICs and micro-sensors. Tutorial and review papers on these subjects are also published and occasional special issues appear to present a collection of papers which treat particular areas in more depth and breadth.
