Abstract
1200V SiC vertical trench JFETs have been evaluated for their reverse conduction properties. Absent of a traditional body diode, the SiC trench JFET is shown to be able to operate effectively in reverse mode when used with or without an antiparallel diode in applications requiring reverse commutation. Device characteristics and experimental results are given for both traditional half-bridge and cascode topologies.
