Silicon carbide has wide bandgap, high critical breakdown field strength, high thermal conductivity, high electron saturation and escape rate, etc. It is especially suitable for high-power, high-voltage power electronic devices, and thus has become a research hotspot in the field of power electronics.
SiC基功率器件的理论最高工作电压范围大于10kV,高于硅基绝缘栅双极型晶体管(IGBT)器件的工作电压;作为单极性器件,其开关速度快
于双极型的硅基IGBT,所需外延层更是由于SiC十倍于硅基的临界击穿电场而减小,因此被视为替代硅基IGBT器件的理想选择。The theoretical maximum operating voltage range of SiC-based power devices is greater than 10kV, which is higher than the operating voltage of silicon-based insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) devices; as a unipolar device, its switching speed is fast.
For bipolar silicon-based IGBTs, the required epitaxial layer is reduced by tens of times the critical breakdown field of silicon, and is therefore considered an ideal alternative to silicon-based IGBT devices.
对于可控开关型的电力电子器件如:IGBT、金属氧化层半导体场效应晶体管(MOSFET)等,其在应用时,往往与二极管反并联以在电路中起续流作用,如附图1所示的功率IGBT与二极管反并联的电路示意图。硅基IGBT一般是将反并联的二极管同时封装成为功率模块,而硅基MOSFET则由于P阱与漂移区自然形成了反并联二极管,因此不需额外增加二极管来并联封装。For controllable switching type power electronic devices such as IGBTs, metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs), etc., when applied, they are often anti-parallel with the diodes to function as a freewheeling in the circuit, as shown in Figure 1. Schematic diagram of the power IGBT and diode anti-parallel. Silicon-based IGBTs generally package the anti-parallel diodes into power modules at the same time, while silicon-based MOSFETs naturally form anti-parallel diodes due to the P-well and drift regions, so there is no need to add additional diodes for parallel packaging.
SiC基MOSFET虽然也具有自然形成的反并联二极管,但是由于SiC的禁带宽度高,其PN结二极管的开启电压高,达到3V左右,当使用SiC MOSFET内部的反并联二极管时,会大大的增加电路中的功耗;同时,由于SiC材料中的基矢面位错会由于PN结的工作诱导出层错,因此,采用其内部PN结二极管作反并联二极管会影响器件的可靠性。使用SiC MOSFET器件时,一般需要在其外部反并联SiC肖特基二极管,但是这样会增加器件的制作成本。Although SiC-based MOSFETs also have naturally formed anti-parallel diodes, due to the high band gap of SiC, the turn-on voltage of PN junction diodes is high, reaching about 3V. When using anti-parallel diodes inside SiC MOSFETs, it will greatly increase. The power dissipation in the circuit; at the same time, since the basal plane dislocation in the SiC material induces a stacking fault due to the operation of the PN junction, the use of its internal PN junction diode as an anti-parallel diode affects the reliability of the device. When using SiC MOSFET devices, it is generally necessary to have an anti-parallel SiC Schottky diode externally, but this will increase the fabrication cost of the device.
