Abstract

In this digest, the threshold voltage drift of the GaN cascode power modules is analysed in comparison with similarly-rated Silicon power MOSFET modules under a range of electrothermal gate bias stress. The drift is plotted again a range of gate voltage magnitudes, applied for a verity of stress periods to comprehensively understand how the gate of the low-voltage Silicon MOSFET in the cascode structure of the GaN module would perform in comparison with a fully-rated Silicon MOSFET, and how does this impact the performance of the high voltage GaN HEMT device, enabling the cascode structure. The importance of the trapping effects on the threshold voltage instability and its drift is revealed for the two devices, with particular attention to possibility of the turn-around effect in a range of temperatures.
