Wide band gap semiconductors are starting to see increasing use in power electronics devices due to their better performance over silicon devices of similar voltage ratings [1][2].
To achieve fast switching speeds, the parasitic inductance
loops must be minimized. Efficient Power Conversion’s (EPC)
EPC2015 40 V, 33 A GaN transistor utilizes flip-chip technology
to minimize the packaging inductance of the transistor.
Consequently, layout parasitic inductance becomes a dominant
inductance in the high frequency loop, shown in Fig. 1.
