A comprehensive study of the short-circuit ruggedness of silicon carbide power MOSFETs

The behavior of Silicon Carbide Power MOSFETs under stressful short circuit conditions is investigated in this paper. Illustration of two different short-circuit failure phenomena for Silicon Carbide Power MOSFETs are thoroughly reported. Experimental evidences and TCAD electro-thermal simulations a...
