摘要
Silicon carbide (SiC) JFETs are attractive devices, but they might suffer from thermal instability. An analysis shows that two mechanisms could lead to their failure: the loss of gate control, which can easily be avoided, and a thermal runaway caused by the conduction losses. Destructive experimental tests performed on a dedicated system show that the latter mechanism is more severe than initially expected. A low thermal resistance and gate driver equipped with protections systems are thus required to ensure safe operation of the SiC JFETs.
