Research summary
AI-generated

Yen-Pu Chen's research focuses on the reliability and performance of power transistors and wide-bandgap semiconductor devices, such as LDMOS transistors, Ga2O3, GaN, and silicon carbide transistors. Much of the work examines how devices degrade over time due to factors like hot carrier effects, radiation exposure, and self-heating, and develops measurement techniques and models to characterize and predict these degradation processes. This research is relevant to designing more durable electronic devices used in power electronics and harsh operating environments.
