Fabrication and Electrical Characteristics Research of Domestic 6.5 kV/400 A SiC MOSFET Module
In order to meet the requirements of high voltage,large capacity,high operating frequency and low switching losses of the power conversion equipment in the new power system,a 6.5 kV/400 A SiC MOSFET module with the highest power level in China is independently developed,and research is conducted on its electrical characteristics.First,the circuit and packaging structure of the module are designed.The thermal characteristics and loop parasitic parameters of the developed module are analyzed by means of thermal simulation and impedance measurement.Subsequently,the static and dynamic characteristics of the developed module are measured at room temperature(25℃)and high temperature(150℃).The measuring results show that under room temperature and high temperature conditions,the blocking leakage current and the gate source leakage current of the module are small,and the switching losses are consistent,which indicates that the module has good high-temperature resistance characteristics.At the same time,compared with Si insulated gate bipolar transistor(IGBT)devices with the same voltage and current specifications,the switching losses of the module can be reduced by more than 72%.Finally,an experimental platform for continuous operation of the SiC module is built to simulate the actual operation of the module in the converter equipment.On this basis,the continuous operation experiment of a half-bridge sinusoidal pulse width modulation(SPWM)inverter is conducted on the module.The experimental results of continuous operation show that the module runs continuously for one hour under the condition of voltage 3600V and device current peak 280A without any abnormalities.It is preliminarily verified that the module has the ability of engineering application.The research can provide support for the development and engineering application of high-voltage SiC MOSFETs.
