초록

The potential performance benefits of Silicon Carbide(SiC) MOSFETs in high power, high frequency power switching applications have been well established over the past 20 years. In the past few years, SiC MOSFET offerings have been announced by suppliers as die, discrete, module and system level products. In high-voltage SiC vertical devices, major design concerns is the edge termination and cell pitch design Field Limiting Rings(FLR) based structures are commonly used in the edge termination approaches. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the impact of variation of FLR and JFET region on the performance of a 3.3 kV SiC MOSFET during. The improvement in MOSFET reverse bias by optimizing the field ring design and its influence on the nominal operating performance is evaluated. And, manufacturability of the optimization of the JFET region of the SiC MOSFET was also examined by investigating full-map electrical characteristics.
