چکیده
Sales of electric vehicles are rising steadily. However, a major shortcoming is currently still the range in purely operation. To minimize losses transmission electrical energy and thus increase vehicles, United Silicon Carbide has developed silicon carbide semiconductors that can be used to realize more efficient drivetrains power components.

Wide Bandgap Semiconductors for Utility Applications
Recent development advances have allowed silicon (Si) semiconductor technology to approach the theoretical limits of the Si material; however, power device requirements for many utility applications of power electronics are at a point that the present Si-based power devices cannot handle. The requirements include higher blocking voltages, switching frequencies, efficiency, and reliability. To o...
متن کاملAn Assessment of Wide Bandgap Semiconductors for Power Devices
An advantage for some wide bandgap materials, that is often overlooked, is that the thermal coefficient of expansion (CTE) is better matched to the ceramics in use for packaging technology. It is shown that the optimal choice for uni-polar devices is clearly GaN. It is further shown that the future optimal choice for bipolar devices is C (diamond) owing to the large bandgap, high thermal conduc...

متن کاملWide Bandgap Heterojunctions on Crystalline Silicon
We describe the use of organic and metal oxide semiconductors to form wide-bandgap heterojunctions to crystalline silicon. We use these semiconductors to demonstrate a heterojunction which both blocks electrons and passes holes, and a complementary heterojunction which blocks holes and passes electrons and blocks holes. The carrier transport functions are demonstrated through simple device stru...
متن کاملImpact of Silicon Carbide Devices on the Powertrain Systems in Electric Vehicles
The DC/DC converters and DC/AC inverters based on silicon carbide (SiC) devices as battery interfaces, motor drives, etc., in electric vehicles (EVs) benefit from their low resistances, fast switching speed, high temperature tolerance, etc. Such advantages could improve the power density and efficiency of the converter and inverter systems in EVs. Furthermore, the total powertrain system in EVs...
