  • Abstract
    JFET are experimentally stressed to provide data for modelling, inverter and driver design. The experimental set-up is described. A surge generator is built and a SiC JFET is stressed. During the stress, a temperature estimation is done at increasing time steps, in order to obtain the full thermal response versus time.
