Inhalt:
Wide bandgap semiconductor based power devices have the capability to reach higher voltage, higher frequency and higher temperature compared with silicon based power devices. These capabilities have the potential to revolutionize the way we deliver and manage power in the future. This paper reviews the progress of ultra high vltage SiC power devices with a focus on how it will enable the next generation power delivery systems.
