Abstract

Focussing on unipolar SiC power devices a variety of applications are described, where cost reduction can be a achieved on system level even for SiC device costs being several times higher than the costs of the competing Si devices. Based on the specific properties of SiC devices like Schottky diodes and JFETs it is explained with the help of these examples how this is attainable.
