Description
A new compact model for SiC power MOSFETs has been presented. The model features an accurate description of the MOS channel, drift region, nonlinear capacitances, and the internal charges. A description for the gradual transition of drain current from linear to saturation region with increasing drain bias has been included using a transition parameter in the model. The model also features temperature scaling of its parameters to provide a single parameter set for the entire operating temperature range of the power MOSFET. A powerful yet simple parameter extraction methodology has also been developed, which relies on device data available in device datasheets for off-the-shelf devices. The model’s static and dynamic performance has been validated using data from a 1200-V,90-A SiC MOSFET (C2M0025120D) in a temperature range of 25 oC to 150 oC.
