IGBT to SiC MOSFET: Evaluating TCO and Miniaturization

The key criterion for deciding to switch from IGBT to SiC is not a device-level cost comparison, but rather how SiC-enabled downsizing of cooling systems and passive components changes the overall system BOM cost and product specifications. This article organizes application-specific decision frameworks and hybrid SiC as an intermediate solution.
