摘要: The present status of SiC high-voltage power switching devices is reviewed. figures merits that have been used for unipolar and bipolar to quantify the intrinsic performance improvement over silicon are presented. Analytical numerical modeling simulations estimate BV device choice described. active area termination design trenched-gate MOS transistors, together with an integrated process their fabrication, progress in experimental demonstration material technology issues need be addressed commercialization discussed. Finally, impact on motor drive systems estimated.
