Abstract:This paper characterizes and compares Si and SiC power MOSFETs in high temperature conditions. The superior advantages of SiC power device, including conductivity, breakdown voltage, high switching speed and high temperature operating potentials, are discussed based on the semiconductor physics properties, including bandgap energy, critical electric field, saturation velocity and thermal conductivity.In characterization of the power devices, the device threshold voltage, on-resistance and leakage current are m… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based startup 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 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.
