  • Abstract
    Terminal measurements are made to verify that latching varies with gate drive resistance and occurs during turn off. dv/dt is varied from 1600 to 300 V/us with no impact on latch. A time-displaced turn-off current pulse demonstrates that latching occurs at very low drain voltages, suggesting a tailored gate drive. A brief discussion of device structure explains the observations.
