SiC is among the most promising materials for next generation power electronic devices due to its superior physical properties to Si and relative mature technology. SiC MOSFET is expected to offer performance improvement over Si counterpart. This paper presents the characterization of 1.2 kV SiC MOSFET, including its static and dynamic characteristics, and its high-frequency (1 MHz), high-power (1.2 kW) zerovoltage switching (ZVS) operation in a half-bridge parallel resonant converter. In comparison with SiC JFET and Si CoolMOS, the advantages and disadvantages of the SiC MOSFET are summarized. I.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
