Wide Bandgap and Ultra-wide Bandgap Semiconductor Processing and Device Development

Wide bandgap power semiconductor devices have shown many benefits for advanced power conversion and distribution systems. The wider bandgap is accompanied by a higher maximum operating temperature and a higher critical field which leads to lower on-resistance, higher power density, and less switching losses. Overall, these factors make for a more efficient and rugged power electronics system. Ultra-wide bandgap semiconductors have the potential to push these benefits even further. For example, ß-Ga2O3, has a reported bandgap of a...
