Silicon Carbide Transistors for IC Design Applications up to 600 °C

Article Preview

Abstract:

Low power Silicon Carbide (SiC) devices and Integrated Circuits (ICs) in conjunction with SiC or Aluminum Nitride (AlN) sensing elements will enable sensing functions in high temperature environments up to 600 °C where no silicon based devices or circuits have been able to survive in that temperature range. In power electronics applications, existence of low power SiC devices and IC technologies will significantly aid the development of high power density power modules in which total weights and cooling systems sizes are reduced. This paper will be evaluating the performances of the fabricated low power SiC device candidates (JFET and BJT) for SiC-based analog ICs design for high temperature and power electronics applications.
