Abstract

Previously developed IMPACT software tools are extended to include the material parameters and device structures of SiC power devices. These software tools extract the data necessary establish a library of SiC power device component models and provide a method for quantitatively comparing different device types and establishing performance metrics for device development. The SiC--IMPACT parameter extraction sequence is demonstrated using several 10 kV SiC power MOSFET device design types and the results are compared with results for 2-kV SiC Power MOSFETs and for commercial Silicon Power MOSFETs with voltage blocking capabilities of 55 V, 400 V, and 1 kV.
