Premium Content: How these devices are made and work, challenges in manufacturing, related startups, as well as the reasons why so much effort and resources are being spent to develop new materials, and new processes.
Whether you’re the owner of the average smartphone, commuting on trains, or driving around in a Tesla, you use power semiconductor devices every day. In a technology-dependent world, these devices are everywhere, and demand for more types of chips using different materials is growing.
In the past, most engineers paid little attention to power semiconductors. They were deemed commodity, off-the-shelf parts. But that’s no longer the case. Power semiconductors are becoming much more sophisticated and more essential for multiple applications ranging from electric vehicles to UV LEDs used for disinfection and purification.
This report explains the purpose of power semiconductors, how these devices work, and how they are made. It also addresses the challenges in manufacturing, as well as the reasons why so much effort and so many resources are being spent to develop new materials, and new processes.
