Inhalt:
In this paper we compare 6.5kV Silicon Carbide MOSFET chips with and without an integrated Schottky diode. We assess theperformance at 25deg C and 125deg C in a double pulse test, as well as providing IV curve and Third Quadrant characteristics at both temperatures. The chips are tested in a custom halfbridge module. We find significantly improved switching performance from the integrated Schottky diode chip when operated at elevated temperatures.
