Inclusion of Radiation Environment Variability for Reliability Estimates for SiC Power MOSFETs

Variability of the solar energetic particle environment is investigated for single-event burnout (SEB) reliability of silicon carbide power metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors. A probabilistic assessment of failure evaluates the benefits of derating voltage, shielding, and mission length. The Prediction of Solar particle Yields for Characterizing Integrating Circuits code is used to...
