Selection of Switching-Cell Main Power Semiconductor Devices
This deliverable reports the selection of the optimum power devices for implementing the SCAPE high-voltage switching cells, after a literature review and commercial availability check. In addition to suitable electrical characteristics, the selection of candidates considered the suitability and availability of bare-die components for their subsequent chip embedding process. Two SiC MOSFET references have been selected and samples have been obtained for an initial test campaign (GeneSiC G4R12MT07. 750V – 12 mΩ and Wolfspeed CPM3-0650-0015A. 650V – 15 mΩ). For the development of the low-voltage switching cells of the auxiliary SCAPE converters, GaN HEMTs from EPC will be selected. The deliverable also includes a prospective and literature review about power device emerging technologies.
