Abstract

Compact simulation models of two key silicon carbide power components, the Junction Barrier Schottky diode and the power MOSFET, which are taking into account the effect of irradiation by highenergy electrons, were developed. Two 1.7 kV class devices: the 14 A JBS diode C3D10170H and the 5 A SiC power MOSFETs C2M1000170D produced by Wolfspeed were irradiated by 4.5 MeV electrons in the dose range up to 2000 kGy. Electrical characteristics were measured prior to and after irradiation. Radiation defects were studied by deep level transient spectroscopy and the effect of irradiation on device characteristics was established. SPICE models taking into account the irradiation fluence were proposed and calibrated using the parameters extracted from experiment. Simulated characteristics show a very good agreement with reality.
