Sei Hyung Ryu,Daniel J. Lichtenwalner,Michael J. O'Loughlin,Craig Capell,Jim Richmond,Edward Van Brunt,Charlotte Jonas,Yemane Lemma,Al Burk,Brett Hull,Matthew McCain,Shadi Sabri,Heather O'Brien,Aderinto Ogunniyi,Aivars J. Lelis,Jeff B. Casady,David Grider,Scott Allen,John W. Palmour +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, high performance 15 kV n-GTOs were demonstrated for the first time in 4H-SiC, using a 140 μm thick, lightly doped n-type drift layer, with 1450°C lifetime enhancement oxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generation-recombination noise in forward biased 4H-SiC p-n diodes
Sergey Rumyantsev,A. P. Dmitriev,Michael E. Levinshtein,Dmitry Veksler,Michael Shur,John W. Palmour,Mrinal K. Das,Brett Hull +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of GR noise in forward biased SiC p+n diodes was proposed, which links the GR noise with fluctuations of the charge state of a trap in the space charge region.
Journal ArticleDOI
