Power Electronics Performance and Reliability
Physical Measurement Laboratory, Nanoscale Device Characterization Division
NIST only participates in the February and August reviews.
Wide bandgap power device is poised to transform the energy landscape of the United States. However, reliability concern remains a key hurdle. In many power applications, failure is not an option. How can we assure that high reliability is achieved? This is a very hard problem in need of a solution. We focus on the physics of reliability and develop physics based electrical measurement methods that the industry can use and their customer can trust.
