A Vertically Integrated Power & Energy CTA Effort to Insert a SiC JBS Diode into an FCS Inverter Circuit

Abstract

SiC JBS diodes were developed to replace silicon diodes in a 600A/1200V module integrated into a 3- phase inverter. The module was tested using both types of diodes, and it was shown that the module with the SiC diodes were more efficient. The diodes were developed using modeling techniques, and the procedures for fabricating the diodes were improved by optimizing the ion implant doses and the procedures for activating them.
