“…(5) (6) In this context, λ represents the unchanging rate at which failures occur, and 't' denotes the time at which the initial failure happens. The Mean Time to Failure (MTTF) can be found by calculating the average of R(t), while the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) can be computed using the MTTF in conjunction with the Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), according to the following formula: (7) When it comes to particular components like Mosfets, diodes, inductors, and capacitors, determining their failure rates involves considering a range of factors. These factors encompass the construction factor, application factor, environment factor, quality factor, stress factor, and temperature factor, all of which contribute to the overall reliability assessment of these components.…”

Reliability is very important in the world of electronic device design and production, particularly in applications where continuous and flawless performance is a necessity. This directs our attention to the boost converter, which forms the foundation of power electronics, renewable energy systems, and electric vehicles. However, as technology progresses, the choice of materials for these converters is a big challenge. For that, in this paper, the impact of using Silicon Carbide (SiC) devices, with their promising material properties, on the reliability of boost converters is presented. Because the results showed that more than 80% of boost converter failures are caused by semiconductors, the use of SiC materials is assessed by determining its reliability using MIL-HDBK-217 standard. In addition, a comparative study with the use of traditional Silicon (Si) is conducted. The results showed that the failure rate of boost converters based on SiC devices reduced from 8.335 failure/10-6h to 6.243 failure/10-6h. This notable shift in failure rates establishes SiC as a pivotal material in the evolution of boost converter technology, offering a compelling solution to address the persistent challenges associated with semiconductor-related failures.
