  • Abstract
    Technological changes for mature devices are not as straightforward as one wishes. Reducing learning curve time is a must to remain competitive in the market share. This paper present a method based on device physics and simulation using T-CAD tool coupled with a virtual DOE technique to assess yield improvement and learning curve reduction. The method is applied to platinum doped fast switching power rectifiers.
