The contributions of the co-authors are as follows: I developed the power semiconductor analytical model. I combine the analytical model with Dr S. Yin's circuit model to give accurate predictions on switching dynamics. I wrote the drafts of manuscript. I performed experiment data analyses. Dr S. Yin developed the circuit model and the hardware platform for experiments. The experiments validation were done by us together. Professor P. Wang reviewed the results and proofread the final
