 Upto 600 V due to high
leakage current
 SiC junction barrier Schottky
(JBS) diode
 600V-3.3kV
 SiC PIN diode
 Ultra high range 10kV-20kV

SiC Diode (cont..)
• Lower leakage current in SiC PIN as compared
with JBS or SBD, ideal for higher temperature
operation.
• 3 V knee voltage, which is determined by the SiC
material, makes SiC PIN ineffective from the
conduction point of view when blocking voltages
below 3.3 kV. SiC JBS diodes preferred in these
voltage ranges.
• Because of the minority carrier stored in the
device, sizeable reverse recovery current in the
SiC PIN diode
