Short-circuit Behaviour of Power Semiconductors | ECPE/Cluster Tutorial | ONLINE

The behaviour of power semiconductors such as IGBTs and MOSFETs in the event of a short circuit is critical to the safety and reliability of electronic systems. Depending on the application and semiconductor type (IGBT, Si-MOSFET, SiC-MOSFET, or various GaN switches), the components exhibit different behaviours and characteristics that can be leveraged or must be taken into account to ensure safe and robust operation.

In this training course, we clarify which applications place demands on the short-circuit withstand capability of power semiconductors. Common definitions of terms and their use in practical applications are explained. We discuss the structure of semiconductors and describe how this, together with the semiconductor material used, influences the short-circuit behaviour of the respective component. Furthermore, semiconductor-specific failure mechanisms will be identified and discussed.

The various types of short-circuits will also be explained. Detection methods and protective circuits tailored to the respective semiconductor topologies are included in the training, as is an overview of current standards and their application.

Targeted audience
This tutorial is suitable for application engineers, technical staff in test bays as well as R&D employees which are new to this topic.

All presentations and discussions will be in English language.
