Device Characterization Wizard
The semiconductor device characterization wizard aids in the setup of NPN-type IGBT and Power MOSFET device models to operate according to the device manufacturers' specifications. The wizard accepts inputs for various quantities available from the device manufacturer and fits a numerical model to the data to provide accurate device simulation over a range of device excitations and thermal conditions.
The following types of semiconductor models are available for parameter fitting:
- Average IGBT
- Basic Dynamic IGBT
- Advanced Dynamic IGBT
- Power MOSFET (Basic Dynamic model)
- Power MOSFET (Average model)
- Power Diode
- Thyristor
To start the device characterization wizard, click Twin Builder > Characterize Device > Semiconductors to open the Characterize Device dialog box in which you can either start characterization of a new device or continue a saved device characterization.
