Daniel Habersat

US Army Research Laboratory

Influence of High-Temperature Bias Stress on Room-Temperature VT Drift Measurements in SiC Power MOSFETs

Daniel Habersat is a researcher on the Wide Bandgap Device Physics Team in the Power Conditioning Branch of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, and has worked on performance and reliability assessment of wide bandgap MIS-based power electronics, particularly SiC/SiO2, since 2001. Identifying the underlying causes of threshold voltage instability, along with developing methodologies to characterize it, has been his focus for a number of years.

Mr. Habersat is currently a PhD candidate in the Reliability Engineering at the University of Maryland and earned his M.S. degree in Applied Physics at Johns Hopkins University in 2007.
