AEC-Q101 qualified bare die and discrete packaged devices undergo WLBI screening and are tested for avalanche breakdown voltage exceeding 2200 V. 

SiC MOSFET Family For Power Conversion

SemiQ Inc., has introduced a new family of 1700 V SiC MOSFETs designed to enhance medium-voltage, high-power conversion applications. These include photovoltaic and wind inverters, energy storage, electric vehicle (EV) and roadside charging, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and induction heating/welding systems.

The high-speed QSiC 1700 V MOSFETs feature a planar D-MOSFET design, optimizing system size, power density, and cost-effectiveness in large-scale applications. Their reliable body diode operates up to 175°C, with components rigorously tested to exceed 1900 V, and UL avalanche-tested to 600 mJ, ensuring durability and robust performance.

The key specifications are:

  • Aluminum top side, nickel/silver bottom side
  • Power dissipation: 564 W
  • Continuous drain current: 83 A @ 25°C
  • Pulsed drain current: 250 A
  • Gate threshold voltage: 2.7 V @ 25°C
  • RDSON: 31 mΩ @ 25°C
  • Fast reverse recovery time: 17 ns
  • Low gate-source leakage

Available in both bare die (GP2T030A170X) and TO-247-4L packaged forms (GP2T030A170H), the QSiC 1700 V devices also come in an AEC-Q101 automotive-qualified version (AS2T030A170X and AS2T030A170H). These devices offer low switching and conduction losses, reduced capacitance, and rugged gate oxide for enhanced long-term reliability. All components undergo wafer-level burn-in (WLBI) to eliminate weak oxide devices, guaranteeing optimal performance.

Additionally, SemiQ has announced three power modules designed to simplify system integration. These include a standard-footprint 62 mm half-bridge module with an insulated baseplate and two SOT-227 packaged power modules, which improve power density and simplify mounting processes.

The power modules provide higher power dissipation, with the SOT-227 versions offering a power dissipation of 652 W and the half-bridge module providing up to 2113 W of dissipation, ensuring enhanced thermal management for high-performance applications.
