Abstract:
According to the recent trend, SiC-MOSFETs have been increasingly conquering the sector of high power semiconductors. This also includes the field of discrete devices for high frequency high current applications which has been dominated by Si-IGBTs in the past and the present. Compared to these Si-IGBTs the wide band gap (WBG) devices can perform very fast switching with very high slew rates. In the proposed survey, state of the art discrete SiC-MOSFETs will be analysed in a high quality measurement setup in order to rate and compare the dynamic characteristics.
