Integrated Lateral SBD Temperature Sensor of a 4H-SiC VDMOS for Real-Time Temperature Monitoring
IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices(2023)
摘要
The novel integrated temperature sensor of a power 4H-SiC MOSFET for precise real-time temperature monitoring is proposed in this article, in which a lateral Schottky barrier diode (SBD) is embedded. A physical model considering the influence of the lateral-distribution effect and interface states of the lateral SiC SBD is presented to explain the mechanism and direct the design of the sensor. A high degree of linearity (R-2) is achieved, and the proposed sensor obtains high design and fabrication tolerance and integration flexibility, namely, a much smaller size is viable. Specifically, the R-2 of the fabricated sensor is 0.9999 in the range of 15 degrees-200 degrees. Under the protection of the p-well, the crosstalk value (V-cross) between the SiC vertical double-diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (VDMOS) and sensor is greatly suppressed, and Vcross is less than +/- 1.87 degrees when the VDMOS is switching. Self-heating tests are employed for comparison with the temperature-sensitive electrical parameter (TSEP) method and RC thermal resistance model method. The proposed sensor has the potential for integration into SiC modules and integrated circuits (ICs) to realize real-time temperature estimation with high precision and low noise.
