In this paper, a direct current (dc) converter with the abilities of bidirectional power transfer and soft switching characteristics is studied and implemented. The circuit schematic of the developed dc converter is built by a half-bridge converter and a center-tapped rectifier with synchronous rectifier. Under forward power transfer, a half-bridge circuit is controlled to regulate the low-voltage side at a stable value. For backward power transfer, a center-tapped rectifier with synchronous rectifier is regulated to control the high-voltage side at the desired voltage value, and the half-bridge circuit is operated as a voltage doubler rectifier. Active power devices are operated at zero-voltage switching using a series resonant technique on the high-voltage side with frequency modulation and inductive load operation. The practicability of the developed converter is established from experiments with a laboratory prototype circuit.

We demonstrate a new high-voltage p+ Si/n- 4H-SiC heterojunction diode (HJD) by numerical simulation and experimental results. This HJD is expected to display good reverse recovery because of unipolar action similar to that of a SiC Schottky barrier diode (SBD) when forward biased. The blocking voltage of the HJD is almost equal to the ideal level in the drift region of n- 4H-SiC. In addition, the HJD has the potential for a lower reverse leakage current compared with the SBD. A HJD was fabricated with p+-type polycrystalline silicon on an n--type epitaxial layer of 4H-SiC. Measured reverse blocking voltage was 1600 V with low leakage current. Switching characteristics of the fabricated HJD showed nearly zero reverse recovery with an inductive load circuit.

DMOSFETs fabricated in 4H-SiC with capabilities for blocking in excess of 1700V and conducting 20A continuous current in the on-state are presented. These SiC DMOSFETs remain functional to temperatures in excess of 225°C, with leakage current at 1700V at 225°C of less than 5 A with VGS = 0V. The DMOSFETs show excellent switching characteristics, with total switching energy of 1.8 to 1.95 mJ over the entire temperature range of testing (25°C to 200°C), when switched from the blocking state at 1200V to conducting at 20A in a clamped inductive load switching circuit. The electrical characteristics are compared to commercially available Si IGBTs rated to 1700V with similar current ratings as the SiC DMOSFET described herein.
