摘要
Bipolar degradation phenomenon, in which the on-state forward voltage increases with the expansion of stacking faults, is a significant issue for practical applications of 4H-SiC bipolar devices such as PiN diodes and IGBTs. This paper addresses methods realizing suppression of the degradation phenomenon by adopting carrier lifetime control techniques.
