A game changer material for power electronics - The production and therefore the use of these semiconductor materials is significantly more complex and costly compared to the established silicon technology, but due to their outstanding properties and the associated possibilities in a variety of applications, WBG semiconductors are increasingly becoming an attractive alternative to Si semiconductors.
Silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) are currently the mainly relevant WBG semiconductor materials and are innovation drivers for e.g. power electronics in sensors & enable new solutions, especially for electromobility and renewable energies. This is primarily made possible by a higher power density and efficiency: thanks to the much higher switching speeds, systems can be designed to be significantly smaller and can also be used more universally due to their higher voltage and temperature resistance.

Session Series »Powering the Future« You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
