← TechnologyWhich mechanism limits silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET switching frequency?
A)Reverse recovery of parasitic diode✓
B)Gate oxide breakdown susceptibility
C)Channel mobility temperature instability
D)Avalanche injection carrier accumulation
💡 Explanation
The _reverse recovery_ of the parasitic body diode induces switching losses in SiC MOSFETs because stored charge must be cleared before blocking voltage; therefore, switching frequency is constrained rather than being limited by gate oxide or channel mobility at typical conditions.
