摘要
This work presents a novel field for solid state power devices : a 4H-SiC specific device is examined as a current limiting device for serial protection application. The device structure is a vertical power MOSFET Like with a existing N channel Its performances is simulated with ISE TCAD tools. A study of its electrothermal behavior is presented, demonstrating the SiC superiority over silicon with regards to this field.
