摘要： A method and apparatus (e.g., semiconductor device) for setting voltages (e.g., guardbands) using “in situ,” or on-die, silicon measurements are described. In one embodiment the semiconductor device comprises: a process monitor to measure silicon parameters of the semiconductor device; and a controller coupled to the process monitor to set a voltage for use on at least a portion of the semiconductor device based on silicon process monitor measurements.

摘要： A method of monitoring the health of a semiconductor power electronic switch such as an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is provided. The method having the steps of: measuring one or more parameters selected from the group consisting of: a rate of change of voltage ( dV dt ) across the switch; a rate of change of current ( di dt ) through the switch, a charge present on a gate of the switch (QG), a peak overshoot voltage (VPO) across the switch, and a peak overshoot or reverse recovery current (IRR) through the switch; and estimating the health of the switch based on the measured parameter(s).

摘要： In a semiconductor device, two series connections are arranged to be connected between respective split emitter electrodes and a gate electrode with Zener diode units connected in series to respective resistors, with the cathode sides thereof directed to the gate electrode side. The numbers of the Zener diodes in the Zener diode units in the respective series connections are different between the respective Zener diode units. Thus, a semiconductor device can be provided which is capable of detecting an open failure of a bonding wire regardless of the number of a plurality of the bonding wires connected in parallel, by a simple electrical test to make it possible to reliably sort out a semiconductor device with a wire open failure at an early stage.
