Fuse on PiN silicon diode monolithic integration for new fail-safe power converters topologies
Résumé
In this paper, a first concept of monolithic integration of a fuse on a silicon PiN diode is realized and experimentally characterized. An integrated fuse on PiN diode allows fast cutoff , with low I²T (less than 2 A².s) and short pre-arcing times (4 to 6 µs). These fuse-on-diode components are intended for failsafe topologies power converter, aiming for more compact and reliable applications. The fuses were electrothermally designed using Comsol Multiphysics™ and TCAD Sentaurus™ simulations were carried out to study their integration on PiN diodes. Characterization and experimental tests were carried out after components realization.
