Abstract in another language
To lower the switching-losses of SiC-Power-MOSFETs in a half-bridge setup, the switching speed can
be maximized by using dead-time-optimization. Due to a short dead-time, the reverse recovery current
after the interlock period between both switches is minimized, and therefore, the overvoltage during the
diode turn-off is lowered. However, if the driver fails to meet the required dead-time, the overvoltage
across the diode increases. In the worst case, the body diode will be operated under avalanche conditions
due to high switching stress. This paper investigates the influence of repetitive avalanche stress on a
SiC-Power-MOSFET’s body diode concerning possible degradation of the semiconductor.
