Abstract

A detailed parameter extraction sequence for Silicon Carbide (SiC) power diode models is presented. The sequence is applicable to any SiC diode technology. Also, the model is demonstrated for a 1.5-kV, 10-A SiC Merged PiN Schottky (MPS); 5-kV, 20-A PiN; a new prototype 10-kV PiN; and the new commercially available 600-V, 1-A Schottky diode. These component models are validated over a wide range of application conditions, including on-state characteristics' temperature dependence, and reverse recovery characteristics' di/dt, dv/dt, and temperature dependence. The extraction sequence is demonstrated for both the Schottky and PiN diode technologies.
