As for SiC, one of the main concerns regards the gate oxide integrity (GOI). The gate oxide in the latest generation of SiC devices is getting thinner and thinner, increasing the electrical field. As a result of the so-called time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) phenomenon, the gate ...
The Rdson for the comparison is at 25C temperature. The GaN transistor has a little higher temperature coefficient compared to the SiC MOSFET. Our comparison is based on 100C temperature for real world implementation, So you can see the conduction loss for GaN is slightly higher than the SiC ...

When compared to the Silicon power Mosfets, it is well known that GaN and SiC power devices have superior figure of merit. In an effort to characterize how improved figure of merit translates to lower power loss, we modeled the power loss of Silicon, SiC and GaN power devices available in...
(SiC), or with silicon (Si). Silicon super-junction MOSFET technology presently dominates the mobile devices AC adapter market, but GaN and SiC devices promise higher efficiency and lower form factors. The GaN devices being proposed are lateral high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) formed on ...
Wide band gap semiconductor materials such as gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) are the ideal choice when looking for next generation of efficient power converter switches. However, each material offers certain advantages over the other. For instance, silicon carbide power semiconductors...
如图1a所示,普通E-mode型GaN器件采用Si或碳化硅(Silicon Carbide, SiC)材料作为衬底;在衬底上方生长过渡层,主要用于减小GaN生长时不同材料间的应力差;过渡层上方为GaN层,用于生长Al GaN/GaN异质结结构。GaN器件利用Al GaN/GaN异质结界面处形成的二维电子气(Two Dimensional Electron Gas, 2DEG)构成导电沟道,这与Si...
Tab.5 Drive circuit loss comparison 从表4中数据可以看出,随着开关频率增加,GaN器件的驱动损耗也显著增加。对比表5中数据可得,本文所提出的高频驱动电路损耗最小。虽然文献[12]中提出的驱动电路损耗为0.258W,与本文电路损耗相近,但文献[12]中没有考虑驱动电路的桥臂串扰抑制问题。文献[13]所提出的SiC驱动电路损耗...
In a materials comparison of basic semiconductor properties – bandgap, critical electric field, and electron mobility, GaN is shown to be a superior material. “With Si the bandgap is a bit over an electron volt and the critical electron field is .23 MV/cm and with GaN the mobility of th...
