High-Voltage SiC MOSFET &SiC Schottky Diode

High-voltage SiC design changes beyond 1200 V

Beyond 1200 V, drift-layer and electric-field control become critical. Dicio optimises Epi, edge termination and cells for each voltage class, while co-designing SiC Schottky diode VF, leakage and surge characteristics to balance on-resistance and blocking voltage.

High-VoltageSi IGBT Design

We design total system loss, not a single parameter.

VCE(sat) and Eoff have a trade-off relationship. Dicio minimises total system loss by balancing conduction and switching losses for the target switching frequency and load profile.

06 · APPLICATION TECHNOLOGY

Application-Optimized Design

We do not fit the system to the product. We design the product for the system.

We start from real operating conditions and co-design devices, modules and validation to deliver the optimal solution for your application, achieving higher performance, greater reliability and faster time to market.
