Even if there are known weaknesses of SiC Schottky diodes while being biased at high voltage in dense ions environments, they can still be the best option for certain very demanding operational conditions. The compatibility of these devices is analysed in this technical note.

Power MOSFET’s are a key element of many electronic designs where high power management is needed. They are used in almost any power supply application (for example as switches). However, the fact that they are key, doesn’t mean necessarily that we have a wide number of rad-hard power MOSFET providers.
