A third-generation 1,700-V 5-A SiC Schottky diode called the GP3D005A170B comes in the industry standard TO-247-2 package as well as bare-die format. 10-A and 20-A 1,700-V diodes will follow shortly.

Michael T. Robinson, SemiQ President states that, “This 1,700-V silicon carbide Schottky Diode is the latest extension to our Gen 3 product family which was introduced in 2019. This platform was designed and built for reliability and ruggedness. It features dual-layer chip passivation with over 12 million device-hours of HTRB and H3TRB. Packaged devices are 100% avalanche tested in production ensuring even greater device ruggedness.”

SemiQ’s 1,700-V SiC diodes are optimized for power conversion applications where low losses and high efficiency are critical including: renewable energy, electric vehicle charging, uninterruptable power supplies (UPS), solar power, and fuel cell power systems.
