  • Abstract
    A 1700 V 60 A SiC MOSFET has been fabricated and the high-speed switching characteristics are evaluated. The SiC MOSFET is designed to have low internal gate resistance (RGin) in order to realize the high-speed switching without parasitic turn-on of the opposite SiC MOSFET in a half bridge. By using the developed SiC MOSFETs, a 1700 V 360A power module with very low parasitic inductance structure has been fabricated to enable high speed switching operations.
