Last December at Electronica, Shandong-based SICC surprised the world with the first 300mm SiC substrate. While 300mm for silicon wafers and analog power is old news (high voltage IGBT products
I am writing this after just getting home from the IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC 2025). As usual, it was a great conference. The Georgia World Congress Center was
Last year, the IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Expo (ECCE) 2024, held in Silicon Desert (Phoenix, AZ) USA, 20–24 October, was a vibrant conference with more than 2400 attendees from
In the automotive sector, Mobility as a Service (MaaS) has achieved significant success, supported by feedback from both end-users and stakeholders. However, the current development process for electric drivetrains and
In 2024, we generated about 30,000 TWh of electricity globally [1], and we used it in a broad spectrum of applications—residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation. With home and vehicle electrification,
The first edition of the International Technology Roadmap for Wide Bandgap Power Semiconductors (ITRW) was published in September 2019 [1]. This was a watershed moment for the IEEE Power Electronics
Demand for robust and reliable systems with improved performance, reduced size and increased efficiencies means that power supply designers are seeking new technologies to support increased switching speeds, higher power
It is very common these days to read news items like summer heat hits Asia early, killing dozens [1] or Dubai airport flooded in hours as storm dumps heaviest rain
In this article we look at how we can most efficiently “Electrify our World” to reduce emissions and meet net-zero goals by using wide bandgap semiconductors. Based on third party
