Evolution of SiC products for industrial application

Inhalt:
Since commercial manufacture of Silicon Carbide (SiC) started in 2010, we have been extensively expanding its product line-ups. This paper covers recently released, new SiC products and technical updates which reflect the demands of industrial applications. First, our newly released 1700V SiCMOSFETs driven by SiC-optimized flyback control Integrated Circuits (ICs) for auxiliary power supplies show an outstanding performance compared to conventional Si-based solutions. Second, we have continuously added new products to our SiC-SBD and SiC-MOSFET product line-ups. As with the existing line-ups, our new products also exhibit excellent reliability in high temperature and high humidity environments – which are desirable characteristics for industrial applications. Finally, our new generation SiC-SBD is reported, which has both best-in-class low forward voltage and improved current surge robustness compared to its predecessor.
