Effect of Gate-Emitter Capacitor C GE
Attached you find some informations, which should give explanations about the advantages of using an additional gate capacitor C G .
The main idea behind this is to control dI C /dt and dV CE /dt independently at turn-on . The need for this is given by the wish for lowest IGBT turn-on losses and a not unlimited di/dt-capability of the free wheeling diode.
By just raising the R G (until the dI C /dt max is ok) would increase the turn-on losses E on . With the additional component C G the dI C /dt can be controlled by the time constant given by R G and C GE //C G . For the turn-on dV CE /dt only R G and C G //C GC (C GC : Miller-capacity) are effective. Be-cause C GC >> C G , finally only R G (and not C G ) is responsible for the resulting dV CE /dt value !By this measure the R G and therefore the switching losses can remain on a low value.

Solution:
An additional Capacitance between Gate & Emitter allows independent control of dI C/dt and dV CE/dt
•dV CE/dt is controlled via R G and C GC
•dIc/dt is controlled via R G and C GE//C G
