Abstract:
This paper presents the degradation of 1200 V Siliconcarbide (SiC) MOSFETs in regard to the influence of different γ radiation doses (γ-radiation). The impacts of four distinct γ-radiation doses (300 Gy, 200Gy, 100 Gy and 50 Gy) were examined. The analysis was conducted using four different MOSFETs from several manufacturers, all of them in the TO263-7 package. They belong to the same voltage class with similar on-state resistance but varying technologies. The primary indicators for degradation analysed in this study are the threshold VGS(th) and the breakdown voltage VDSS(BR).
