Gate Driver Power Supply Challenges for SiC and GaN Devices

Recom Technical Team

Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) are wide‑bandgap (WBG) semiconductor materials offering advantages over traditional silicon (Si) in power electronics because they switch faster with lower losses. They are gaining significant market share in applications where high efficiency and power density ar

Silicon Reinvented: Architectural Innovations Beyond SuperJunction Power MOSFETs

Ryan Manack, Vice President of Marketing at iDEAL Semiconductor

In the 1970s, the 1D power MOSFET, aka HEXFET™, was introduced. The 1980s saw the launch of the IGBT, and in the 1990s, reduced surface field (RESURF) devices – aka SuperJunction™ devices were introduced. Over the last two decades, improvements in silicon power devices have been largely evolutionary rather th
