For the further efficiency improvement of existing power modules for railcar traction, we have developed MOSFETs with a rated voltage of 3.3 kV by using SiC, which are expected as next-generation power semiconductor materials. The specific on-resistance of the MOSFET was reduced considerably with an original technique, which formed n-type doping layer into JFET region of the MOSFET. The world’s first all-SiC traction inverter utilizing this technique has been produced, and it have been verified to achieve an approximate 40% savings in power consumption compared to conventional systems. |
