By replacing Si IGBT with SiC MOSFET, it is possible to reduce the size and weight of the equipment and achieve highly efficient power conversions due to high frequency operation. Comparison of characteristics of Si MOSFET/IGBT and SiC MOSFET are shown in Table1.

Table 1. Comparison of characteristics of Si MOSFET, Si IGBT and SiC MOSFET
When Toshiba’s SiC MOSFET and Si IGBT are switched at Ta =25°C, the switching loss waves are shown in Figures 1(a) and 1(b). For SiC MOSFET, the turn-off loss and turn-on loss are reduced by 65% compared to Si IGBT.
i) The reduction in turn-on loss is due to the smaller trr・Irr of SiC MOSFET's built-in SiC SBD affecting the loss than Si IGBT's built-in Si FRD.
ii) The reduction of turn-off loss is influenced by the fact that SiC MOSFET has no accumulation of minority carrier and no loss due to tail current as in Si IGBT.
