We compare the on-state and switching performance of high-voltage 4H-SiC n-channel DMOSFETs and p-channel IGBTs within a three-dimensional parameter space defined by blocking voltage, switching frequency, and current density. We determine the maximum current density each device can carry at a given switching frequency, such that the total power dissipation is 300 W/cm2. The IGBT current depends strongly on lifetime in the NPT buffer layer, and only weakly on lifetime in the drift layer. The MOSFET current is essentially independent of frequency. |
