Abstract:The effect of recovery characteristics on the switching behavior of silicon carbide (SiC) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) is investigated on the basis of the output capacitance charge of the recovery arm (Q oss ) and the reverse recovery charge by minority carrier injection (Q rec ). It is confirmed that the variation of drain current during switching operation due to the increase in Q oss and Q rec modifies the rise or fall time of drain-source voltage, which results in an increas… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
