Why Using Newer Si SJ MOSFETs May Not Be a Good Idea for High Frequency Switching
Key Takeaways:
· Output capacitance Coss-related loss is the major switching loss in resonant soft switching.
· New generations of silicon super-junction MOSFETs (SJ MOSFETs) dissipate more energy per switching cycle than legacy ones.
· Hysteresis of new generations of silicon super-junction is larger and increases with increasing dV/dt and peak Vds.
Resonant switching techniques are used to reduce the switching loss and increase the power density. Output capacitance (Coss) related loss is the major switching loss in resonant soft switching.
Two papers published in IEEE ISPSD (2018) and TPEL (2019) by G. Zulauf et al. (with Prof. Juan M. Rivas-Davila at Stanford University) showed that new generations of silicon super junction MOSFET are actually dissipating more energy (Ediss) than legacy ones with similar on-resistance. The data presented also show that the Ediss of silicon super junction MOSFET tends to increase with increasing frequency. That means a newer generation of silicon super junction MOSFET may be less suitable to be used in resonant topologies targeting high-frequency operations in spite of a lower stored output capacitance energy (Eoss) noted in the datasheet.
The Ediss is the energy dissipated during each cycle of charging and discharging of Coss. The newer generation of silicon super-junction MOSFET has a smaller pitch and higher doping concentration of n-type drift layer between p-type pillars in order to reduce die size and cost. There is another paper published in IEEE EDL (2019) by Z. Lin of Chongqing Univ. shows that these features may enhance non-linearity and hysteresis of the output charge (Qoss) versus the drain-source voltage Vds curves. The hysteresis area of Qoss-Vds curves also increases with increasing dV/dt in silicon super-junction MOSFETs. Since the hysteresis area is the energy lost during the charge/discharge cycle, this observation explains why Coss related switching loss would be higher for the newer generation of silicon super junction MOSFET, and also suggests that the effect of Ediss increasing with increased switching frequency (higher dV/dt) is going to be more significant for the newer generation of silicon super-junction MOSFETs.

C-V Curve Matters for Quiet Power Electronics
In this article, we cited some scholars‘ studies on how the intrinsic capacitances of power MOSFETs affect EMI and EMC of power electronics. With more linear capacitance versus voltage (C-V) curve one device has, the better EMI performance the system can behave. Thus, due to the reduced cell pitch which causes more abrupt change in Cgd, designers should pay more attention to the EMI/EMC when using the newer generations of Si SJ MOSFETs.

A Lower Forward Voltage Drop Does Not Always Bring Benefits
The forward voltage(VF) is an important parameter to Schottky barrier diode, however, junction capacitive charge matters for SBD as well. In some conditions, SBD with a higher VF and a lower Qc can outperform the diode with a lower VF but a higher Qc. That is to say VF*Qc is a better measure (figure-of-merit) should be used to evaluate the performance of SiC Schottky diode.

What is SiC and why is SiC for power devices?
In SiC, because of its 10 times strength to withstand electric field, its theoretical specific on-resistance can be 200 times smaller than Si counterpart, which enables people to use SiC to manufacture high voltage devices with simple structures. Today, unipolar SiC power devices, including SiC MOSFETs and SiC Schottky rectifiers, have been commercialized for voltage rating up to 3300V, which is unreachable by any other semiconductor materials.
