Materials scientists at Duke University have developed a method to create hybrid thin-film materials that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to make. The technique could be the gateway to new generations of solar cells, light-emitting diodes and photodetectors.The research team described their methods in the journal ACS Energy Letters.

The research team that announced the first optical rectenna in 2015 is now reporting a two-fold efficiency improvement in the devices — and a switch to air-stable diode materials. The improvements could allow the rectennas – which convert electromagnetic fields at optical frequencies directly to electrical current – to operate low-power devices such as temperature sensors.

SiC high voltage MOSFETs and diodes are wide bandgap devices that ensure low conduction and low switching loss. Maximising their performance requires more than just plugging them into your application.

How would your next power electronics application benefit from higher efficiency, greater robustness,and reduced need for thermal management? With negligible reverse recovery, the new LSIC2SD120Series of SiC Schottky Diodes reduces switching losses dramatically to boost system efficiency.They also support large surge currents and have a high maximum junction temperature of 175°C.

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)are fast becoming the mostpopular lighting option.Industry forecasts anticipatethe market will continue toexpand at an annual rate of20% from 2011 to 2016,with the greatest growthcoming in the commercialand industrial lightingsectors.

STMicroelectronics will exhibit its latest semiconductor solutions for smart driving at AUTOMOTIVE WORLD 2018. The automotive industry is witnessing rapid advances in the development of technologies such as autonomous driving, Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, and power management in Electric Vehicles (EVs).

A new power semiconductor product line has been announced by IXYS: 200V Ultra-Junction X3-Class HiPerFET Power MOSFETs. The current ratings range from 36-300A; a broad selection of devices are available in a number of international standard packages. Fabricated using a charge compensation principle and IXYS’ own process technology, these new MOSFETs exhibit what the company claims to be the lowest on-state resistances in the industry (3.5m&...

According to recent market research by Grand View Research, the global power electronics market will be valued at $39.2bn by 2025. To ensure electrical products and infrastructure are capable of supporting this 40% growth, REO UK is calling on laboratories and testing facilities to invest in stable DC power supplies for electrical testing. Electrical testing is a critical part of the design and development of power electronics and electrical comp...

Diodes claims to simplify BLDC and PMSM motor drive design with the DGD2136 three-phase gate driver IC.

STMicroelectronics has introduced itsSystem-in-Package (SiP)PWD13F60 whichcontains a complete 600V/8A single-phase MOSFET full bridge in a 13x11mm outline, saving bill-of-materials costs and board space in industrial motor drives, lamp ballasts, power supplies, converters, and inverters.
