[0002] Power semiconductor modules are widely used in power transmission, rail transportation, and industrial production, serving as crucial components for power conversion. Currently, silicon (Si)-based insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) dominate the market; however, these power devices suffer from slow switching speeds and high losses, reducing the efficiency of power converters. In contrast, silicon carbide (SiC)-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) offer faster switching speeds and lower diode reverse recovery currents, contributing to improved power converter efficiency. However, SiC MOSFETs often exhibit ringing and significant switching stress during switching transients, causing electromagnetic interference (EMI). Therefore, designers typically increase the gate drive resistor to reduce the switching speed of SiC MOSFETs and suppress ringing. However, this gate drive resistor has a fixed value, and various conditions can arise during switching transients, preventing the full utilization of the efficiency advantages of SiC power modules.
