摘要
The progress that has been made in SE diodes and GTOs is reviewed. A 100 A/1000 V SiC p-i-n diode package, the highest current rating reported for any SiC device, a 69 A conduction/11 A turn-off of a SE GTO and MTO(TM), as well as the first ah-SE, 3 phase Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) inverter are reported, herein, for the first time. The inverter achieves voltage controlled turn off with a high temperature capable, hybrid SE JFET. Material and process technology issues that will need to be addressed before device commercialization can be realized are discussed.
