摘要
Commercially available high voltage Silicon Carbide (SiC) Junction Barrier Schottky (JBS) are typically designed with advanced anode topography depending on the manufacturer and the specific current-voltage rating. The anode layout of JBS rectifiers affects a wide range of electro-thermal parameters such as the leakage current and the response of the diode to over-current events (surge current capability). In this paper, the effect of 3D anode geometries for the active area of 3.3 kV-20 A SiC JBS diodes is investigated in detail for both single and repetitive surge current events. By means of advanced 3D electro-thermal finite element simulations, a trade-off between the main factors which are contributing to the bipolar behavior activation is identified.
