Abstract:
This paper proposes a novel, physically based SPICE model for the JFET region resistance in Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Super-Junction MOSFETs. The process parameter based model considers the JFET region resistance nonlinearity due to junction depletion and velocity saturation effects. The SPICE agnostic model ports across multiple industry standard simulation platforms. The model has been validated with ON Semiconductor's advanced SiC MOSFET and Super-Junction technologies.
