Electrical Characterization of 1.2 kV-Class SiC MOSFET at High Temperature up to 380°C

Article Preview

Abstract:

Dynamic and static characteristics of SiC power MOSFETs at high temperature up to 380°C were investigated. Investigated devices have exhibited a behavior as a normally-off MOSFET even at such high temperature as 380°C. Temperature dependence of the MOSFET characteristics are reported in this paper, such as threshold voltage (VTH), on-resistance, internal gate resistance, and turn-on and turn-off losses (EON, EOFF). EON decreases and EOFF increases with increased temperature. Temperature dependence of switching losses is affected by transfer time of VDS, which was mainly determined from VTH.
