Power Semiconductors

Core power electronics components enabling high-voltage, high-current switching. Essential for modern grid infrastructure, renewable-energy integration, and electric vehicles.

Key Technologies & Applications

Solid-State Transformers (SST): Next-generation power conversion devices replacing traditional magnetic transformers with high-frequency switching power semiconductors.
- SSTs promise significant advantages in size, weight, and control over legacy transformers, though market adoption faces technical and economic obstacles Solid-State Transformer: Evolution, Advantages, and Obstacles to Market Adoption.
- Relies heavily on wide-bandgap semiconductors (e.g., SiC, GaN) for efficiency at high frequencies.
