Electrical characterization of the soft breakdown failure mode in MgO layers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The soft breakdown (SBD) failure mode in 20 nm thick MgO dielectric layers grown on Si substrates was investigated. We show that during a constant voltage stress, charge trapping and progressive breakdown coexist, and that the degradation dynamics is ...

A New High-Gain DC-DC Converter with Continuous Input Current for DC Microgrid Applications

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
The growth of renewable energy in the last two decades has led to the development of new power electronic converters. The DC microgrid can operate in standalone mode, or it can be grid-connected. A DC microgrid consists of various distributed generation (

Time dependent dielectric breakdown and stress induced leakage current characteristics of 8Å EOT HfO2 N-MOSFETS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In this work we present the time dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) characteristics of LaO capped HfO2 layers with an equivalent oxide thickness of 8Å. The layers show maximum operating voltages in excess of 1V. Such high reliability can be attributed

Voltage from mechanical stress in type-II superconductors: Depinning of the magnetic flux by moving dislocations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Mechanical stress causes motion of defects in solids. We show that in a type-II superconductor a moving dislocation generates a pattern of current that exerts the depinning force on the surrounding vortex lattice.

Lightning Impulse Voltage Stresses In Underground Cables

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2023
Abstract Underground power cables are crucial for transmission and distribution. Lightning can stress their insulation, but not directly. So, impulse cable testing is studied. This research examines the cable’s transient response to standard and non-standard lightning impulse voltage waveforms.

On the robustness of ultra-high voltage 4H-SiC IGBTs with an optimized retrograde p-well [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The robustness of ultra-high voltage (>10kV) SiC IGBTs comprising of an optimized retrograde p-well is investigated. Under extensive TCAD simulations, we show that in addition to offering a robust control on threshold voltage and eliminating punch ...
