摘要
A parallel arrangement of a silicon (Si) IGBT and a silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET is experimentally demonstrated. The concept referred to as the cross-switch (XS) hybrid aims to reach optimum power device performance by providing low static and dynamic losses while improving the overall electrical and thermal properties due to the combination of both the bipolar Si IGBT and unipolar SiC MOSFET characteristics. For the purpose of demonstrating the XS hybrid, the parallel configuration is implemented experimentally in a single package for devices rated at 1200 V. Test results are obtained to validate this approach with respect to the static and dynamic performance when compared to a full Si IGBT and a full SiC MOSFET reference devices having the same power ratings as for the XS hybrid samples.
