In today's world we face numerous challenges in energy conservation and reduction of carbon emissions. One of the ways to reduce emissions is to make our appliances more efficient and reduce our energy consumption. Although silicon is the foundation of modern electronics, current technology using silicon as the primary semiconductor is reaching its limit. Wide band gap semiconductors can operate at higher temperatures up to 300°C, block ten times higher voltages and are up to ninety percent more efficient compared to current silicon technology, which enable us to greatly reduce energy losses. In this thesis, three wide bandgap semiconductor devices were characterized to determine their electrical properties. The switching losses were measured using a double pulse test circuit. The devices include a Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET, a SiC bipolar junction transistor and a Gallium Nitride (GaN) transistor. The characterization revealed the superior material properties of wide bandgap devices over Silicon. The higher electrical breakdown ratings, better static characteristics, faster switching times and lower switching losses were verified through electrical characterization. Also the device limitations and problems with device handling were analysed. The factors which affect device performance and lead to degradation of the devices were discussed and remedial measures proposed. In order to demonstrate the superior material properties of wide bandgap semiconductors over silicon, a three phase inverter using SiC switches was constructed and its performance analyzed. Measurement of the switching losses and the subsequent inverter efficiency proved that wide bandgap devices can help reduce energy consumption and lower the cost of power converters due to their advantages over conventional Silicon technology.
