The SSA-LIGBT shows a remarkably decreased on-state voltage drop when compared with the conventional SA-LIGBT and shows a one-order faster turn-off time than that of the LIGBT.","PeriodicalId":260241,"journal":{"name":"12th International Symposium on Power Semiconductor Devices & ICs.

JBS diodes with linear and honeycombed p/sup +/ grids, Schottky diodes and implanted PiN diodes fabricated alongside show that while 4H-SiC JBS diodes behave similar to Schottky diodes in the on-state and switching characteristics, they show reverse characteristics similar to PiN diodes. Measurements on 4H-SiC JBS diodes indicate that the reverse recovery time (/spl tau//sub n/) and associated losses are near zero even at a rev. dI/dt of 75 A//spl mu/sec. Based on measured waveforms, detailed loss models on diode switching were established for a high frequency switching power supply efficiency evaluation.
