The paper describes major issues related to the design of a portable SiC-based DC supply developed for evaluation of a high-voltage Marx generator. This generator is developed to be a part of an electromagnetic cannon providing very high voltage and current pulses aiming at the destruction of electronics equipment in a specific area. The portable DC supply offers a very high voltage gain: input voltage is 24 V, while the generator requires supply voltages up to 50 kV. Thus, the system contains two stages designed on the basis of SiC power devices operating with frequencies up to 100 kHz. At first, the input voltage is boosted up to 400 V by a non-isolated double-boost converter, and then a resonant DC-DC converter with a special transformer elevates the voltage to the required level. In the paper, the main components of the laboratory setup are presented, and experimental results of the DC supply and whole system are also shown.

The algorithm is considered for calculating the focal distance of a hollow conical electron beam generated by high-voltage glow discharge electron guns with magnetic focusing of the beam in the drift region, as well as a method for calculating the diameter of the focal ring and its thickness for such a beam. The proposed algorithm is based on the theory of electron drift in the field of a focusing magnetic lens and is designed using the methods of discrete mathematics and the minimax analysis. The obtained simulation results made it possible to establish the influence of the magnetic lens current on the focal diameter of a hollow conical electron beam and on its focal ring thickness. It is shown that the change in the focal parameters of a hollow conical electron beam can be effectively provided through the regulation of the magnetic lens current.

AbstractVery high critical field, reasonable bulk electron mobility, and high thermal conductivity make 4H-Silicon carbide very attractive for high voltage power devices. These advantages make high performance unipolar switching devices with blocking voltages greater than 1 kV possible in 4H-SiC. Several exploratory devices, such as vertical MOSFETs and JFETs, have been reported in SiC. However, most of the previous works were focused on high voltage aspects of the devices, and the high speed switching aspects of the SiC unipolar devices were largely neglected. In this paper, we report on the static and dynamic characteristics of our 4H-SiC DMOSFETs. A simple model of the on-state characteristics of 4H-SiC DMOSFETs is also presented.
