Which failure arises when rapidly switching a high-voltage IGBT gate?

💡 Explanation

Applying high dV/dt to the gate-source capacitance causes displacement current injection stressing the gate oxide; therefore dielectric breakdown can occur because high field strengths are present rather than a thermal event like runaway.
