An early study of the power conversion and RF applications a compound semiconductor device could serve, such as traction inverters, chargers, data centre supplies, solar inverters or base station amplifiers, with their needs and competing technologies.
Analysis Work product in the Power and compound semiconductor lifecycle
Silicon carbide and gallium nitride devices win only where their speed, voltage or temperature advantages outweigh their cost and qualification burden. A product aimed at an application where silicon is good enough, or one whose qualification needs the team cannot meet, gets its concept approved on enthusiasm rather than evidence.
