Power semiconductor devices are essential from the operation point of view, size, efficiency and cost, these components are used in a myriad of applications, providing features that make them an important part of the system in which they are operating. This document analyzes and compares the basic structure, properties, design aspects, as well as temperature performance, stability and switching losses, present in devices on silicon (Si), silicon carbide (SiC) and new generation devices fabricated in gallium nitride (GaN) applied in renewable energy systems. The main objective is determinate the viability of the new generation components, which present a superior performance in view of an increase in efficiency, conductivity, decreases in switching losses, lower resistances and parasitic capacitances as well as higher operating frequency range. Therefore demonstrating the GaN components are a strong and viable candidate to solve some of the problems present in renewable energy systems.

Reduce Emissions

The world is currently experiencing major advancement in the electrification of both the industrial and commercial sectors. This is part of an effort to reduce reliance on combustible fuels, reduce emissions, integrate renewable energy systems and increase efficiency. Due to the complexity of modern circuits and systems, any circuit’s design should start with proper simulation and device selection, to reduce overall cost and time of prototyping, both of which require accurate and thorough device characterization. Wide bandgap (WBG) power semiconductor devices offer superior characteristics over conventional devices, including faster switching speeds, higher breakdown voltage, lower losses, and higher operating temperature. These properties call for special test circuits and procedures for accurate characterization. In this work, custom characterization circuits and fixtures, suitable for WBG devices are designed, tested, and described. The circuits measure several of the main characteristics of voltage controlled WBG power switches. Different technology devices were tested and characterized.
