Power semiconductor devices are widely used for the control and management of electrical energy. The improving performance of power devices has enabled cost reductions and efficiency increases resulting in lower fossil fuel usage and less environmental pollution. This book provides the first cohesive treat...
Silicon carbide power devices: hopeful or hopeless - Johnson, Wright, et al. - 1999 () Citation Context ...ance was presented bysvarious groups which were involved in the fabrication of silicon carbide based power devices.sIn 1999, the usefulness of silicon carbide for the device application ...
GaN- and SiC-based power devices compete against silicon IGBTs and MOSFETs in various segments. GaN and SiC devices are more efficient, but they also are more expensive.
72 Technology focus: Silicon carbide Benefits and advantages of silicon carbide power devices over their silicon counterparts Giuseppe Vacca outlines the advantages of silicon carbide compared with traditional silicon and the benefits attainable for fabricating power devices. Silicon carbide power device...
ROHM is at the forefront in the development of SiC power devices and modules that offer improved power-savings in applications across a number of industries. EcoSiC™ is a brand of devices that utilize silicon carbide (SiC), which is attracting attention in the power device field for performa...
Silicon (Si) is by far the most widely used semi- conductor material for power devices. However, Si-based power devices are approaching their material limits, which has prompted a lot of efforts to find alternatives to Si-based power devices for better performance. With the rapid inno- vation...
He claims that his company has created a novel power architecture that debunks the idea that the industry has reached the end of the road for silicon advancement. Granahan is confident that silicon-based power devices can still compete with WBG materials like SiC and GaN, widely known for their...
Silicon carbide (SiC) has been attracting much attention because of its potential application to high performance power devices with the capability of operating at high temperature. Here, the authors briefly describe SiC's advantages for high pulsed power devices, review the state-of the-art in pr...
The paper is intended to give an overview of the status of SiC power devices with a focus on industrial applications. Developments intended for military applications, high frequency systems or integrated circuits will not be addressed. After being implemented in power supplies, SiC-based devices were...
