Annotation:  For the first time, the dV/dt values for domestic and foreign SiC commercial diodes have been obtained experimentally. The domestic experimental measuring tester for determination of dV/dt characteristic of diodes at amplitude of impulse of reverse voltage VA applied across the Schottky diode (300 950 V) was constructed for the first time. It is determined experimentally that at the impulse of reverse voltage applied across the diode 900 V the values of dV/dt for domestic SiC commercial diodes are 148308 V/ns that are comparable with foreign diodes. The determined dV/dt value for domestic SiC commercial Schottky diode is more then typical dV/dt values for such foreign devices type and can stably work without failures in electric power circuit.

Keywords:  SiC, silicon carbide, Schottky diode, dV/dt value.
