CS Mantech: Empowering power devices
Look up the physical properties of a range of semiconducting materials and it’s easy to understand why SiC and GaN are more attractive than silicon, and why Ga2O3 holds so much promise. But getting transistors and diodes made from these wide and ultra-wide bandgap materials to get close to fulfilling their true potential, rather than just outperforming silicon, is far from easy. Success demands improvements to the design of these devices, along with the processes for producing them…
