Silicon Carbide Properties
Silicon carbide (SiC is a combination of silicon and carbide. This compound semiconductor material is made from carbon and silicon.
SiC features a wide bandgap, making it high in terms of breakdown field strength and other material properties. SiC power device have the benefits of being small in size and low on power consumption due to the excellent material characteristics.
Silicon Carbide for Electric Automotive
SiC can be used to invert electric motors in cars. SiC has three main areas for use in new vehicles: electric drive inverter (OBC), DC/DC converter and onboard chargers (OBC). Inverter will also be the biggest application field.
Utilizing SiC in the electric drive inverter will significantly decrease volume, weight and costs and enhance power density. Applied to car charger and DC/DC system it can reduce switching loss, limit operating temperature, system efficiency, and reduce system cost. SiC can also used in the charging of electric vehicles, to reduce its volume and speed.
SiC-inverter inverters are a great option for electric vehicles to increase their efficiency and prolong the battery’s life. SiC technology in an electric drive inverter has two advantages. On the one side, it reduces loss and increases efficiency. And on the second, it reduces overall cost. Reduce the weight and volume of the inverter. SiC can be used to reduce its chip area and working frequency. It is also able to save peripheral passive parts. SiC module volume will not exceed that of IGBT. SiC offers good heat dissipation.
SiC power electronics are increasingly being included in new vehicle models. Tesla adopted the full SiC power device in its Model 3 main Inverter. More and more manufactures are now releasing SiC models, including BYD (NIO), Xpeng, Mercedes, and others. SiC technology allows these cars to use smaller inverters with higher efficiency. The vehicle’s power can be increased, as it has faster charging speeds and longer endurance.
