Irvine, Calif.—Microsemi Corp. recently developed a high speed IGBT transistor line for welding, low to mid-power solar inverters, uninterruptible power supplies and industrial switch mode power ...

Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) have become pivotal components in modern power electronic systems, blending the high input impedance and fast switching capabilities of MOSFETs with the high ...

How many remote controls do you have in your home? Don’t you wish all these things were better integrated somehow, or that you could add remote control functionality to a random device? It’s a common ...

In the wake of gallium-nitride (GaN) transistor introductions, a number of semiconductor makers have begun to reassess the role played by conventional MOSFETs. The introduction of GaN devices doesn’t ...

While many research efforts are underway to develop active devices that can function in the challenging terahertz spectrum, others are leapfrogging to try to get some devices operate into the ...

What are GaN HEMTs and why are they important? How GaN devices can handle kilowatt power conversion. Gallium-nitride (GaN) high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are a form of field-effect ...

Mitsubishi Electric’s new 2.0kV LV100 semiconductor device is based on its insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) technology and Relaxed Field of Cathode (RFC) diodes. It is designed for industrial ...

MIT engineers have developed a magnetic transistor that could pave the way for smaller, faster, and more efficient electronics. By replacing silicon with a magnetic semiconductor, the team created a ...

A new study represents a significant advance in topological transistors and beyond-CMOS electronics. First time that the topological state in a topological insulator has been switched on and off using ...
