The Merits of the Merged p-i-n SiC Schottky Diode
SiC semiconductors are being deployed in a wide variety of use cases that demand robust high-voltage, high-performance operation from small form factor, high-power-density designs where stable and reliable operation is needed independent of temperature. Creating the best device technology enables the highest performance, efficiency, and reliability, which opens the opportunities for success. Navitas’ ‘trench-assisted planar’ technology provides the best-in-class performance in the field, enabling high-yield manufacturing, fast and cool operation, and extended long-life reliability.
