With respect to time, of course. ;)

Those terms are not often used with respect to MOSFETs, IGBTs, or BJTs. dv/dt is of concern with SCRs or TRIACs since a value for that which is too high applied to the cathode-anode connection may cause inadvertent triggering of the device. They usually have a limit for that parameter listed in the data sheet.
