Abstract

Power electronics is ubiquitous in modern society. It enables the power conversion in automotive, energy harvesting, IT infrastructures, consumer & industrial applications (from laptop chargers to data centers, from photovoltaic inverters to electric vehicles).

At the core of power electronics, power transistors are operated as high-frequency high-voltage switches. Gallium nitride (GaN), a wide band-gap semiconductor, enables the implementation of smaller, faster and more efficient power transistors than silicon.

In this lecture, we’ll review the key elements to understand the highest quality and highest reliability GaN technology and its path to a successful commercialization.

Welcome to the GaN revolution.
