چکیده

Capacitance between terminals of a power semiconductor device substantially affects on its switching operation. This paper presents a capacitance–voltage (C–V) characterization system for measuring high voltage SiC–JFET and the results. The C–V characterization system enables one to impose high drain-source voltage to the device and extracts the capacitance between two of three terminals in FET by eliminating its influence on the neighboring terminal. The capacitance between the gate and drain, and the drain and source represents the hybrid structure of the lateral channel and vertical drift layer of the SiC–JFET.

Characterization of punch-through phenomenon in SiC-SBD by capacitance-voltage measurement at high reverse bias voltage

This paper investigates the punch-through phenomenon in SiC Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBD) from capacitance–voltage (C–V) characteristics at high reverse bias voltage. High voltage bias application has not been possible by conventional measurement instrumentation. The authors, therefore, develop C–V characteristics measurement instrumentation which enables the application of high dc bias voltage...

Experimental and Theoretical Study of 4 H - SiC JFET Threshold Voltage Body Bias Effect from 25 ° C to 500 ° C Philip

This work reports a theoretical and experimental study of 4H-SiC JFET threshold voltage as a function of substrate body bias, device position on the wafer, and temperature from 25 °C (298K) to 500 °C (773K). Based on these results, an alternative approach to SPICE circuit simulation of body effect for SiC JFETs is proposed.

A functional model of silicon carbide JFET and its use in the analysis of switching-transient and impact of gate resistor, miller effect and parasitic inductance

Abstract: A functional model of silicon carbide (SiC) JFET was developed to study its performance. Based on this model, the gate resistor in the gate drive circuit of SiC JFET is optimised with comprehensive consideration of gate current impact, miller effect, switching speed and voltage spikes. The switch on oscillation caused by parasitic inductance is analysed and methods are proposed to mit...
