摘要：

Threshold voltage (V-TH) hysteresis affects the reliability of silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs. To evaluate the V-TH hysteresis effect on switching characteristics, this article first investigates the V-TH hysteresis in the static characteristics of three SiC MOSFETs with different gate structures. The results illustrate the density of the interface states in different gate structures. Then, the effect of V-TH hysteresis on dynamic characteristics under varying OFF-state starting voltages (V-G(OFF)) is evaluated by experiment. Furthermore, the effect mechanism of V-TH hysteresis and V-G(OFF) on switching characteristics is analyzed. Under the effect of the V-TH hysteresis, a smaller V-G(OFF) reduces V-TH when the device turns on. This phenomenon leads to a reduction in the turn-on delay and consequently lowers the turn-on loss. Therefore, the V-TH hysteresis is a significant factor for gate driver design of SiC MOSFETs.
