We have developed a 1.7 kV SiC hybrid power module consisting of a newly developed 6th generation Si-IGBT and SiC-SBD. The adoption of SiC-SBD allows for a significant reduction in power loss during diode turn-off and IGBT turn-on. The adoption of the 6th generation IGBT reduces IGBT turn-off losses. By utilizing the newly developed chipset, durable high-temperature gel, and optimized chip design, this new SiC hybrid module can operate at Tj=150°C, while the maximum operating temperature of conventional N-series Si modules is 125°C.

If you're like me and get nervous when your internet connection drops, if you can't leave home without your smartphone and store your data in the cloud, then you are (just like me) partly responsible for the enormous increase in internet traffic, which is projected to nearly double the current capacity by 2014 (see Figure 1. Forecast of Internet Data Volume). Have you ever wondered how much data crosses oceans, travels thousands of kilometers, and ends up on your desk?
