Abstract |
The main novelty in this paper is modeling with Pspice the real stored charge inside SiC PiN diodes depending on the working regime of the device (turn-on, on-state, and turn-off). The developed model is based on the adequate calculation of the ambipolar length (L) as a function of the charge injected to the N- region, which allows finding an analytical solution for the ambipolar diffusion equation (ADE). In special during the turn-off, the carrier concentration was modeled in three different regions. The physical-based model allows predicting dynamic and static behaviors of the SiC PiN diode. |
