摘要
This paper presents a detailed physical analysis on the junction temperatures, thermal stabilities, and thermal runaway effects of self-heating unipolar SiC power devices. Results reveal that the risk of thermal runaway could limit the usable junction temperature of these SiC devices to substantially lower than 200 degrees C, regardless of the device size and the cooling method used.
