摘要
Advanced high-voltage (>= 10 kV) silicon carbide (SiC) devices described in this paper have the potential to significantly impact the system size, weight, high-temperature reliability, and cost of modern variable-speed medium-voltage (MV) systems such as variable speed (VSD) drives for electric motors, integration of renewable energy including energy storage, micro-grids, and compact pulsed power systems. In this paper, we review the current status of the development of 10 kV - 20 kV class power devices in SiC, including MOSFETs, JBS diodes, IGBTs, GTO thyristors, and PiN diodes at Cree. Advantages and weakness of each device are discussed and compared. A strategy for high-voltage SiC power device development is proposed.
