SiC MOSFET Reliability Update

Article Preview

Abstract:

Significant advancement has been made in the gate oxide reliability of SiC MOS devices to enable the commercial release of Cree’s Z-FET™ product. This paper discusses the key reliability results from Time-Dependent-Dielectric-Breakdown (TDDB) and High Temperature Gate Bias (HTGB) measurements that indicate that the SiC MOSFETs can demonstrate excellent lifetime and stable operation in the field.
