5th Generation thinQ!™ SiC Schottky Diode IDH12G65C5

1 Description
ThinQ!™ Generation 5 represents Infineon leading edge technology for the SiC
Schottky Barrier diodes. The Infineon proprietary diffusion soldering process,
already introduced with G3 is now combined with a new, more compact design and
thin-wafer technology. The result is a new family of products showing improved
efficiency over all load conditions, resulting from both the improved thermal
characteristics and a lower figure of merit (Qc x Vf).
The new thinQ!™ Generation 5 has been designed to complement our 650V
CoolMOS™ families: this ensures meeting the most stringent application 1
2
requirements in this voltage range. 
Features
 Revolutionary semiconductor material - Silicon Carbide
 Benchmark switching behavior
 No reverse recovery/ No forward recovery
 Temperature independent switching behavior
 High surge current capability
 Pb-free lead plating; RoHS compliant
 Qualified according to JEDEC1) for target applications
 Breakdown voltage tested at 27 mA2)
 Optimized for high temperature operation
Benefits
 System efficiency improvement over Si diodes
 System cost / size savings due to reduced cooling requirements
 Enabling higher frequency / increased power density solutions
 Higher system reliability due to lower operating temperatures
 Reduced EMI
Applications
 Switch mode power supply
 Power factor correction
 Solar inverter
 Uninterruptible power supply
