Abstract
The threshold voltage instability is a main reliability issue of Silicon Carbide MOS transistors submitted to gate bias stress. A new time and temperature-dependent TCAD model based on phonon-assisted tunneling is proposed. The results are compared with a previously developed temperature-independent model and with experimental data.
