The development of 4H-SiC PiN diodes capable of blocking to greater than 10 kV while having current ratings of 20 A at 100 A/cm2 is continuing in earnest. VF instability of these diodes continues to be a roadblock, but progress is being made, and a 2

Forward voltage (VF) drift, in which a 4H-SiC PiN diode suffers from an irreversible increase in VF under forward current flow, continues to inhibit commercialization of 4H-SiC PiN diodes. We present our latest efforts at fabricating high blocking vo

The PiN diode is an attractive device to exploit the high power material advantages of 4H-SiC. The combination of high critical field and adequate minority carrier lifetime has enabled devices that block up to 20 kV and carry 25 A. Furthermore, these

This paper reports on a 400 watt boost converter using a SiC BJT and a SiC MOSFET as the switch and a 6 Amp and a 50 Amp SiC Schottky diode as the output rectifier. The converter was operated at 100 kHz with an input voltage of 200 volts DC and an ou

SiC BJTs show instability in the I-V characteristics after as little as 15 minutes of operation. The current gain reduces, the on-resistance in saturation increases, and the slope of the output characteristics in the active region increases. This deg

We report on the development of the first 1 cm x 1 cm SiC Thyristor chip capable of blocking 5 kV. This demonstrates the present quality of the SiC substrate and epitaxial material. A forward drop of 4.1 V at 100 A and 25°C has been measured. The tu

Statistical properties of DEA methods for efficiency estimation are poorly understood and currently the best way forward must be to use bootstrap techniques. The article seeks to extend bootstrap methods to allow investigation of the properties of es

Due to the high critical field in 4 H - SiC , the drain charge and switching loss densities in a SiC power device are approximately 10X higher than that of a silicon device. However, for the same voltage and resistance ratings, the device area is muc
