摘要
Silicon-Carbide-based semiconductors offer realization of efficient high voltage components, with high switching speed and low conduction losses [1]. SiC Schottky diodes with safe blocking capability of at least 4 kV were produced and characterized. A simulation model for loss determination was developed. Real losses were determined on a small scale test setup and chip temperature distribution was obtained from that, combined with FEM calculation. A full-size rectifier 100 kW/140 kV-SiC-rectifier module with six times higher power density than with conventional Si-technology was realized.
