METHOD OF REDUCING CURRENT COLLAPSE OF POWER DEVICE

摘要

According to example embodiments, a method of operating a power device includes applying a control voltage to a control electrode of the power device, where the control electrode is electrically separated from a source electrode, a drain electrode, and a gate electrode of the power device. The control voltage is separately applied to the control electrode. The method may include applying a negative control voltage to the control electrode prior to applying a gate voltage to the gate electrode.
