Abstract:
This paper studies the temperature dependence of threshold voltage,body diode voltage,drain-source on-state resistance in SiC MOSFET,analyzes the effect of bias temperature instability(BTI)on V
TH,and explores the mechanism of its effect on temperaturesensitive electrical parameters(TSEPs). In addition,considering the influence of temperature and BTI on V
TH,a method for threshold voltage monitoring employing SiC MOSFET body diode voltage under body effect at low current injection is proposed. The proposed method can monitor the threshold voltage at different junction temperatures( Tj)and provides help for correcting the accuracy of junction temperature measurement by other TSEPs. The theoretical and experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method.
