Join PowerAmerica for a free online technical webinar: Design and Simulations of a High Voltage SiC Semiconductor Opening Switch Diode. This presentation will detail the modeling efforts conducted in Silvaco Victory Device at Texas Tech University on ultra-high voltage SiC SOS diodes, demonstrating the viability of transition to wide-bandgap semiconductors for pulsed-power electronics applications. The transition to SiC SOS diodes is advantageous in pulsed power systems as it offers up to a 20x reduction in required devices compared to silicon, thus increasing system reliability, efficiency, and power density. Featured in this presentation is the physical characterization and modeling of a SiC drift step recovery diode (DSRD), the design of the ultra-high voltage SiC SOS device, several single-device testbed simulations, and the successful simulation of a five-device series stack delivering a 100 kV, 180 MW pulse.
No registration is required. Join webinar link below Wednesday, June 3, from Noon to 1 p.m. (EDT)
