Researchers are developing advanced wide bandgap and ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor devices and circuits for high-power and high-frequency applications. This work focuses on overcoming performance limitations of conventional semiconductor technologies and enabling more efficient power electronics, communication systems, and next-generation energy solutions.
Widegap devices will control electric cars, unmanned aerial vehicles and all-electric trains and aircrafts. They will also apply to renewable energy grids such as those powered by solar and/or wind energy.
