Abstract

Two commercial 1.2 kV SiC MOSFETs have been extensively characterised from 30 to 320 K. The temperature dependence of their I/V characteristics, threshold voltage, and breakdown voltage has been examined and are presented in this paper. Overall, the measured characteristics of both devices demonstrate very similar temperature dependencies and it is shown that below ~100 K any further decrease in temperature has little effect on any of the tested characteristics. Increasing temperature beyond 100 K results in a decrease in drain current for a given drain-source and gate-source voltage, a decrease in threshold voltage, and an increase in breakdown voltage. Successful attempts have been made to model the results of these tests by applying theories found in the literature.
