SiC power-switching devices-the second electronics revolution?

Cooper, J.A., Agarwal, A.·2002·Proceedings of the IEEE

Abstract

Silicon carbide (SiC) offers significant advantages for power-switching devices because the critical field for avalanche breakdown is about ten times higher than in silicon. SiC power devices have made remarkable progress in the past five years, demonstrating currents in excess of 100 A and blocking voltages in excess of 19000 V. In this paper we describe the latest progress in three classes of SiC devices: diodes (p-i-n and Schottky), transistors (junction field-effect transistor, metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor, and bipolar junction transistor), and thyristors (gate turn-off).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
