Another step towards GaN power devices
27 June, 2008
IMEC and AIXTRON have demonstrated the growth of AlGaN/GaN heterostructures on 200 mm silicon wafers. This demonstration is another step towards fabricating low-cost GaN power devices for high-efficiency/high-power systems beyond the silicon limits.
Alternative to silicon chip
04 June, 2008
A transistor that uses gallium nitride (GaN) instead of silicon has been invented. It can reduce power consumption and improve the efficiency of power electronics systems in everything from motor drives and hybrid vehicles to house appliances and defence equipment.
Models make transistors more efficient
04 June, 2008
New models of how two types of power transistors perform that will result in more efficient smart electrical circuits, making technologies such as cars and home appliances more reliable and environmentally friendly, have been developed by European researchers.
Chassis for embedded boards
