In principle, there is no tail current during switching, resulting in faster operation and reduced switching loss. In addition, the low ON resistance and compact chip size ensure low capacitance and gate charge. SiC exhibits minimal ON resistance increases and provides greater package miniaturization, and energy savings than Si devices, in which the ON resistance can more than double with increased temperature.
