  • Abstract
    This paper is an overview of recent progress in the development of high-voltage SiC power devices. Main issues on materials and SiC related process technology are also discussed. A detailed review of current situation and trends in SiC power rectifiers and switches is also given. Finally, an application of the SiC JFETs as a current limiter device is reported, showing the viability of SiC devices in certain applications.
