Then, in the ion implantation step, the temperature of a silicon carbide wafer is maintained in a range from 175° C. to 300° C., more preferably in a range from 175° C. to 200° C. The resistivity of the p base ohmic contact using a p++ region formed by ion implantation at a temperature in a range from 175° C. to 300° C. becomes lower than that in a case where the p++ region is formed by ion implantation at a temperature over 300° C.

20130010506 | LEAKAGE CURRENT REDUCING APPARATUS - First windings of a first common mode transformer and second windings of a second common mode transformer are connected in series via connection lines. The windings are connected to an AC power supply via connection lines. The first windings are connected to a three-phase motor via connection lines, a converter, and an inverter. High-frequency leakage currents flowing in the connection lines are detected as a common mode voltage by a winding for common mode voltage detection. An output voltage is inputted via a filter to a voltage amplifier unit that amplifies the output voltage, and the amplified voltage is applied to a winding via a capacitor in substantially a same direction as a direction of the common mode voltage. As a result, leakage currents are reduced by induced voltages on the windings. | 01-10-2013 |
20130147419 | LEAKAGE CURRENT REDUCING APPARATUS - In a system supplying power from an AC power supply to a three-phase motor via a converter and an inverter, a leakage current reducing apparatus is connected to a connection line between the AC power supply and the converter. A common mode transformer detects, as common mode voltage, common mode current flowing from the AC power supply to the connection line. The common mode voltage is inputted to a voltage amplifier via a filter apparatus. Output voltage obtained by voltage amplification passes through a capacitor and then is applied as an AC component to a neutral point of capacitors connected in a Y-connection fashion, so as to have the same phase as that of the common mode voltage. Thus, current having the same phase as that of the common mode current is supplied via the capacitors to the converter through the connection line, thereby reducing the common mode current. | 06-13-2013 |
