This paper describes a feature of a SiC DioMOS which has low on-state resistance at elevated temperature. The DioMOS is the SiC MOSFET which also works as an antiparallel diode by utilizing an n-type epitaxial channel under the MOS gate for the reverse conduction path. The device structure of the DioMOS, temperature dependence of both the on-state resistance and forward voltage of the antiparallel diode are described. A conduction loss analysis and test results clarify the benefit of the DioMOS which has lower on-state resistance at elevated temperature. Parallel connection can be operated without thermal runaways as a result of device temperature by thermal photograph.
