Infineon’s SiC technology – Key differentiators

• Unmatched reliability and quality

• System benefits

• Variety

Gate oxide reliability – Setting a new benchmark

To further improve its SiC technology, Infineon invested a lot into testing on-state oxide reliability of electrically screened SiC MOSFETs and the off state oxide stress due to the electric field conditions in SiC power devices.

Today Infineon can claim:

  • Due to the optimized gate oxide thickness our gate oxide screening is more efficient compared to competing SiC MOSFET manufacturers.
  • Lower gate oxide failure rates during the lifetime and no early failures translate into the highest possible gate oxide quality at the customer side.

Body diode – An integral part

All CoolSiC™ MOSFETs – either packaged in Infineon’s SiC-modules or belonging to Infineon’s SiC-discrete portfolio - have an integrated body diode. An additional Schottky diode is not required. The diode is drift-free.  It is mandatory to use synchronous rectification (turn on the channel in diode mode after a short dead time) to benefit from low conduction losses.

The CoolSiC™ MOSFET body diode is rated for hard commutation and is highly robust. It proves to be long-term stable and does not drift beyond the datasheet limits. The CoolSiC™ MOSFET trench concept is optimized for the operation of the body diode. The trench bottom embedded into a p+ region enhances the body diode area.

Criteria for driver selection based on CoolSiC™ MOSFET characteristics

Gate driver circuits and ICs should support all the CoolSiC™ MOSFET characteristics (as per datasheet). Recommendable features include:

  • Tight propagation delay matching
  • Precise input filters
  • Wide output-side supply range
  • Negative gate voltage capability
  • Extended CMTI capability
  • Active Miller clamp
  • DESAT protection

All the above has been taken into account by Infineon’s engineers to make the right driver selection as easy as possible for customers when opting for CoolSiC™.
CoolSiC™ MOSFETs can even be driven with a 0 V turn-off gate voltage what enables the simplest gate drive scheme among currently commercially available SiC MOSFETs. It simplifies the gate drive circuitry, helps to get rid of high-voltage isolation, while simultaneously, reducing the number of components. Notable are the MOSFETs’ high robustness and immunity against unwanted parasitic turn-on given the MOSFETs’ increased threshold voltage and optimized capacitance ratio.

Overcomplicating CoolSiC™ MOSFET driving is not necessary. In fact, no drain-source snubbers and no gate-source capacitor are needed.
