Mobility And 5G Drive Adoption Of New Materials For Power Devices
Mobility And 5G Drive Adoption Of New Materials For Power Devices The power electronics industry is transitioning from silicon to wide bandgap compound semiconductor materials such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride. Electric mobility, renewable energy, and other technology innovations like IoT, 5G, smart manufacturing, and robotics all require reliability, efficiency, and compact power systems, fueling the adoption of silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) to support lower voltages in significantly smaller devices. But chip designers must overcome the technological and economica...
