The SiC diode is an ultrahigh performance power
Schottky diode. It is manufactured using a silicon
carbide substrate. The wide band gap material
allows the design of a Schottky diode structure
with a 600 V rating. Due to the Schottky
construction no recovery is shown at turn-off and
ringing patterns are negligible. The minimal
capacitive turn-off behavior is independent of
temperature.
