GeneSiC’s innovation features a SiC double-implanted metal oxide semiconductor (DMOSFET) device structure with a junction barrier schottky (JBS) rectifier integrated into the SiC DMOSFET unit cell. This leading-edge power device can be used in a variety of power conversion circuits in the next generation of power conversion systems. Other significant advantages include more efficient bi-directional performance, temperature independent switching, low switching and conduction losses, reduced cooling requirements, superior long-term reliability, ease of paralleling devices and cost benefits. GeneSiC’s technology offers superior performance and also has the potential to reduce the net SiC material footprint in power converters.

"GeneSiC’s 6.5kV SiC MOSFETs are designed and fabricated on 6-inch wafers to realize low on-state resistance, highest quality, and superior price-performance index. This next-generation MOSFET technology featuring an on-chip integrated JBS diode promises exemplar performance, superior ruggedness and long-term reliability for medium-voltage power conversion applications" said Dr. Siddarth Sundaresan, VP of Technology at GeneSiC Semiconductor.

GeneSiC’s 6.5kV G2R™ SiC MOSFET technology features -
• High avalanche (UIS) and short circuit ruggedness
• Superior QG x RDS(ON) figure of merit
• Temperature independent switching losses
• Low capacitances and low gate charge
