TekShare: Insights into Wide Band-gap Applications and Measurements Part II

Wide Band-gap (WBG) power devices (SiC and GaN) offer significant benefits over silicon based power devices. WBG Semiconductors play a big role in the future of power devices. They are smaller, faster and more efficient than their silicon counterpart. But they also present several validation test challenges. In this session, we will talk about the wide bandgap test challenges, measurement techniques, and test equipment needs including the requirements for a scope, probing techniques, and automated test software that can help meet the tough challenges presented by wide bandgap semiconductor devices.

TekShare: Insights into Wide Band-gap Applications and Measurements Part I

Wide band-gap semiconductors (SiC/GaN) are commonly used along with traditional silicon in high performance applications due to their higher rated switching frequencies, voltage/currents and operating temperatures. DC instrumentation must be capable of outputting high voltage/currents to test these wide bandgap devices, while providing sufficient measurement resolution for accurate characterization. For example, GaN MOSFETs can have on-resistances (RdsOn) with single digit milliohm values. This can be beyond the capabilities of typical automated test equipment (ATE) testers. The webinar features a demonstration where we will exhibit how Keithley's high power instruments can help you characterize such high performance devices. Register to watch now!

TekShare: Correlating Semiconductor Device Performance versus Data Sheet Specification III: Intergrated Parametric Measurements with the 4200A-SCS

The datasheet of a semiconductor device provides an engineer with its key characteristics and suitability for a given application.

TekShare: Characterization of Snapback For ESD Protection Devices

During IV testing, semiconductor devices can experience avalanche breakdown when excessively large voltages are applied. This results in a phenomenon known as snapback where the device exhibits negative resistance. Current compliance is a fundamental requirement of our Keithley SourceMeters to prevent the device-under-test from being subjected to excessive power. Traditional current compliance schemes are unable to protect the DUT during snapback. Learn more about the snapback phenomenon along with a brief overview of a SourceMeter's architecture, and Keithley's solution to tackle this challenging topic in semiconductor test and measurement.

TekShare: Spectrum View: A new way of Analysing Signals Across Time, Frequency and Digital Domains on the 4/5/6 Series MSO Oscilloscopes

Debugging embedded systems often involves looking for clues that are hard to discover just by looking at one domain at a time. The ability to look at time and frequency domains simultaneously can offer important insights. Mixed domain analysis is especially useful for answering questions such as: What's going on with my power rail voltage when I'm transmitting wireless and RF data? Where are the emissions coming from when i access memory? How long does it take for my PLL to stabilize after power-on? Register to watch now!
