Abstract

Silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs are garnering widespread attention due to their superior performance in high-temperature, high-frequency, and high-voltage applications, emerging as the preferred power semiconductor devices in converters for photovoltaic power generation and new energy vehicles. However, SiC MOSFETs are prone to gate drive and drain-source voltage oscillations during high-speed switching events, resulting in diminished system efficiency, increased electromagnetic interference, reduced device safety, and even compromising the overall reliability of the converter. This paper introduces an oscillation suppression method based on a gate LCR parallel branch, aimed at optimizing the switching performance of SiC MOSFETs. A half-bridge circuit model based on SiC MOSFET is established, and the mechanism of gate and drain-source oscillation is meticulously analysed using the transfer function expression. Building upon this, the LCR parallel branch parameters are meticulously designed to introduce appropriate damping in the gate drive path, effectively mitigating oscillations. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed design not only significantly reduces the amplitude of oscillations but also shortens the switch-transition time. This enhancement effectively increases the switching frequency and reduces switching losses.

基于 LCR 并行支路的 SiC MOSFET 栅源电压振荡抑制研究
碳化硅(SiC)MOSFET 因其在高温、高频和高压应用中的卓越性能而受到广泛关注,成为光伏发电和新能源汽车转换器中的首选功率半导体器件。然而,SiC MOSFET 在高速开关过程中容易出现栅极驱动和漏源电压振荡,导致系统效率降低、电磁干扰增加、器件安全性降低,甚至影响转换器的整体可靠性。本文介绍了一种基于栅极 LCR 并行支路的振荡抑制方法,旨在优化 SiC MOSFET 的开关性能。本文建立了基于 SiC MOSFET 的半桥电路模型,并利用传递函数表达式对栅极和漏源振荡的机理进行了细致分析。在此基础上,对 LCR 并行支路参数进行了精心设计,以便在栅极驱动路径中引入适当的阻尼,从而有效缓解振荡。实验结果表明,所提出的设计不仅能显著降低振荡幅度,还能缩短开关转换时间。这一改进有效地提高了开关频率,降低了开关损耗。
