Silicon carbide PiN diodes are presented with reduced temperature coefficient crossover points by limited p type contact area to limit hole injection in the n type drift layer in order to provide a lower current at which the diode shifts from negative temperature coefficient to a positive temperature coefficient of forward voltage for mitigating thermal runaway.
