DULLES, VA, May 28, 2021 — GeneSiC Semiconductor, a pioneer and global supplier of Silicon Carbide (SiC) power semiconductor devices, announces the availability of 5th generation (GE*** series) SiC Schottky MPS™ rectifiers that are setting up a new benchmark with their superior price-performance index, industry-leading surge current and avalanche robustness, and high quality manufacturing.
“GeneSiC was one of the first SiC manufacturers to commercially supply SiC Schottky rectifiers in 2011. After more than a decade of supplying high-performance and high-quality SiC rectifiers in the industry, we are excited to release our 5th generation of SiC Schottky MPS™ (Merged-PiN-Schottky) diodes that offer industry-leading performance in all aspects to meet the high efficiency and power density goals in applications like server/telecom power supplies and battery chargers. The revolutionary feature that makes our 5th Generation (GE*** series) SiC Schottky MPS™ diodes stand out among its peers is the low built-in voltage (also known as knee-voltage);it enables lowest diode conduction losses at all load conditions – crucial for applications demanding high-efficiency energy usage. In contrast to other competitor SiC diodes also designed to offer low-knee characteristics, an additional feature of our Gen5 diode designs is that they still maintain that high level of avalanche (UIL) ruggedness that our customers have come to expect from GeneSiC’s Gen3 (GC*** series) and Gen4 (GD*** series) SiC Schottky MPS™” said Dr. Siddarth Sundaresan, Vice President of Technology at GeneSiC Semiconductor.
