Pulsed Power Techniques Enabled by SiC Devices for Subsurface Applications
摘要
Wide Bandgap (WBG) semiconductor devices, in particular silicon carbide (SiC), are enabling pulsed power applications to be realized where traditional pulsed power switching devices (spark-gaps, thyratrons, etc.) cannot be implemented. SiC devices also enable operation beyond the limits of state-of-the-art silicon (Si) power electronic devices, especially at higher temperatures.
