Abstract :
Currently, power electronics designers ask for more precise power semiconductor device models. Models based on semiconductor physics offer a better option to accomplish these requirements. Other aspect is the availability of parameter extraction methods which frequently is complicated. This paper proposes a study of parameter extraction methods for semiconductor device models. From this analysis an automatic system for semiconductor devices characterization of parameter extraction is proposed
