Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) introduces the CoolSiC™ Schottky diode 650 V G6. This latest development in the CoolSiC diode family is built upon the distinctive characteristics of the G5, providing reliability, quality, and increased efficiency. The CoolSiC G6 diodes are a perfect complement to the 600 V and 650 V CoolMOS™ 7 families. They are aiming at current and future applications in Server and PC power, Telecom equipment power, and PV inverters.

The CoolSiC Schottky diode 650 V G6 has a new layout, new cell structure, and a new proprietary Schottky metal system. The result is an industry benchmark V F (1.25 V), and a Q c x V F figure of merit (FOM) which is 17 percent lower than the previous generation. In addition, the new G6 diode makes use of the SiC strong characteristics of temperature independent switching behavior and no reverse recovery charge.
