چکیده
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 mitigate the oscillation. Experiments on a 300 V prototype validated the proposed model.

Performance Analysis of a 1200 V SiC MOSFET Based 10 kVA Voltage Source Inverter
Silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET has the potential to replace silicon (Si) IGBT due to its superior switching performance. However due to presence of parasitic inductance in converter layout, device voltage and current experience overshoots and oscillations during device switching. These undesired overshoots increase switching loss. In the context of these parasitic inductances, the performance of ...

متن کاملMetal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET)
The IGFET or MOSFET is a voltage controlled field effect transistor that differs from a JFET in that it has a “Metal Oxide” Gate electrode which is electrically insulated from the main semiconductor n-channel or p-channel by a very thin layer of insulating material usually silicon dioxide, commonly known as glass. This ultra thin insulated metal gate electrode can be thought of as one plate of ...

This paper presents developing an analytical model for flux switching motors. The motor is a class of variable reluctance motors that has two windings on stator; a field winding and an armature winding. Due to saliency of both stator and rotor poles, accurate modeling is difficult which arises from the nonlinear behavior of the machine. This paper presents a simple model which is able to predic...
