Abstract
This paper will demonstrate how the newer Silicon Carbide material semiconductor power devices can contribute to carbon emissions reduction and the speed of adoption of electric vehicles, including hybrids, by enabling significant increases in the driving range. Two IGBT inverter leg modules of identical power rating have been manufactured and tested. One module has silicon-carbide (SiC) Schottky diodes as anti-parallel diodes and the other silicon PiN diodes. The power modules have been tested and demonstrate the superior electrothermal performance of the SiC Schottky diode over the Si PiN diode leading to a reduction in the power module switching losses.
