Investigation of tradeoff between switching loss and EMI issue of gate driver with ferrite bead for SiC power module by Liu, Dongjie

“…Refer to the previous researches, which suggest a proper layout of the gate driver is necessary, generally, in the direction of diminishing the parasitic inductance，the designer will place the driver as close as possible to the gate terminal, which is usually formed at the source and also at gate terminals in case of the SiC-MOSFET. Ferrite beads and RC snubbers were suggested being good ways to reduce the ringing by placing at the end of the terminal, which means putting at the gate of the MOSFET. …”
