Over-Current Capability of Silicon Carbide and Silicon Devices for Short Power Pulses with Copper and Phase Change Materials below the Chip

An increasing share of fluctuating and intermittent renewable energy sources can cause over-currents (OCs) in the power system. The heat generated during OCs increases the junction temperature of semiconductor devices and could even lead to thermal runaway if thermal limits are reached. In order to...
