ASML SiC MOSFET test on ChipIR

Abstract: High voltage semiconductor switches are susceptible to failure due to cosmic rays, when used in the half bridge configuration that is typical for swtich mode power converters. A cosmic ray will create a conductive path in an off-state junction. In combination with the other, on-state half bridge swtich this will short the low impedance supply bus and one or both swtiches will fail due to the resulting excessively peaking current. This effect has also been demonstratd in terrestrial applications as established in failures in installed base, laboratory tests and earlier neutron beam irradiation tests. The target of this test campaign is to qualify a new range of silicon-carbide type MOSFETs for appliaction in power amplifiers used in ASML's lithography machines.
