Whitepaper: SiC power semiconductors vs. IGBTs
Superiority of SiC Power Semiconductors over IGBTs
A technological and economic comparison
Efficiency and Thermal Management: Significantly lower switching losses, improved heat dissipation, and more compact system designs.
Output Quality and Dynamics: Very low ripple, quiet operation enabled by higher switching frequencies, and step response < 1 ms for demanding grid and industrial applications.
How much faster does SiC pay off: Increasing availability and higher blocking voltages make SiC the logical successor to IGBT technology.
