Abstract

This paper presents the latest advancements in silicon carbide (SiC) power module packaging. Die attach methods, passivation techniques, and module packaging techniques for multiple-chip power modules are described. The most recent work involving high voltage/high current modules for a SiC fault current limiter rated at 8 kV and 400 A continuous current is described. A roadmap to address outstanding challenges is proposed.
