Abstract
The majority of commercial Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET based power modules available on the market today also include SiC Schottky diodes placed in anti-parallel with the MOSFETs. Using an accurate electrical and thermal simulation model this paper analyses the difference between two power modules; one with anti-parallel SiC Schottky diodes and one without for different load conditions in a specific drive application. The main objective of this paper is to explain the advantages and disadvantages of using anti-parallel SiC Schottky diodes with SiC MOSFETs. Experimental results are also presented to validate the simulation results.
