Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor, popularly known as MOSFET, is a semiconductor device with extensive applications in switches and amplification of electronic signals in various electronic devices. SiC MOSFET is among the most preferred options that offer many benefits over its counterparts. Accordingly, Millennium Semiconductors India Pvt. Ltd., the top SiC MOSFET distributor in India, talks about the features and benefits of SiC MOSFETs.

Features of SiC MOSFETS

Silicon Carbide MOSFETS, or SiC MOSFETS offer the following features.

  • Higher avalanche ruggedness
  • Low capacitances and low gate charge
  • Operational stability at high junction temperatures at 175 degree Celsius.
  • Fast and reliable body diode
  • A faster switching pace on account of low internal gage resistance (ESR)

SiC MOSFETs possess critical breakdown strength, which is 10X of silicon. Besides, their capacity to work at higher temperatures and the ability to provide higher current density makes them a better option.

Additionally, they experience reduced switching losses and support higher switching frequencies. These factors refer to the fact that SiC MOSFETS resemble silicon IGBTs, and in a lot of designs, they can replace silicon IGBTs and offer a lot more benefits in the overall design.

Apart from the above, SiC MOSFETs prove a better alternative over silicon MOSFETs in several other ways. It includes the former’s ability to manage a higher voltage and power needs while proving space-efficient.

Benefits of SiC MOSFETS

SiC MOSFET is a prudent investment that brings the following benefits.

  • Easy paralleling
  • Easy driving
  • High efficiency coupled with reduced switching losses
  • Does not require an external freewheeling diode
  • Ruggedness with automobile qualified solutions
  • Cost-effective, as it has lesser components, a smaller system size, and smaller magnetic/ heat sinks)
  • Enhanced thermal capabilities to a junction temperature of 175 degree Celsius.
