Permanent threshold voltage (Vth) drift, induced by Bias Temperature Instability (BTI), constitutes one of the critical reliability challenges facing silicon carbide (SiC) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFET). However, existing in-situ monitoring
Advancing technology is crucial to improving healthcare. It has the power to elevate treatment quality, make high-value services more affordable for all, and improve patient outcomes. High-performing, easy-to-use equipment is
The rapid advancement of technology has led to an increasing dependence on electronic devices, resulting in a surge of e-waste worldwide. E-waste includes discarded electrical and electronic equipment such as
Last December at Electronica, Shandong-based SICC surprised the world with the first 300mm SiC substrate. While 300mm for silicon wafers and analog power is old news (high voltage IGBT products
I am writing this after just getting home from the IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC 2025). As usual, it was a great conference. The Georgia World Congress Center was
Last year, the IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Expo (ECCE) 2024, held in Silicon Desert (Phoenix, AZ) USA, 20–24 October, was a vibrant conference with more than 2400 attendees from
In the automotive sector, Mobility as a Service (MaaS) has achieved significant success, supported by feedback from both end-users and stakeholders. However, the current development process for electric drivetrains and
In 2024, we generated about 30,000 TWh of electricity globally [1], and we used it in a broad spectrum of applications—residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation. With home and vehicle electrification,
The first edition of the International Technology Roadmap for Wide Bandgap Power Semiconductors (ITRW) was published in September 2019 [1]. This was a watershed moment for the IEEE Power Electronics
