Download or read book Characterization and Modeling of 4H-SiC Low Voltage MOSFETs and Power MOSFETs written by Mihir Mudholkar and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The integration of low voltage and high voltage circuits on SiC has profound applications. SiC power devices have proved their superiority in terms of high temperature operation, faster switching frequencies and larger power densities when compared with Si power devices. The control of SiC power devices however, lies in the hands of low voltage circuits built on Si. Thus, there exists a separation in the overall system between the low voltage and high voltage side, which increases system cost, weight and reduces efficiency. With the advancement in low voltage SiC processing technology, low voltage control circuits can be made on the same die as power devices, and power systems will become compact, robust and more efficient
