  • Abstract
    This paper is dealing with a newly developed high current 800A/1200V full SiC module containing SiC MOSFETs and antiparallel SiC Schottky Barrier Diodes in a half bridge configuration. Electrical characteristics and thermal performance are described and compared with Si-based IGBT modules. The dependencies of switching characteristics from specific operation conditions are investigated. The paper concludes with a recommendation of application conditions to benefit most from such a high current full SiC module.
