Wide Bandgap Superlattice Power Devices for Army Hybrid Electric Power Systems; Conference paper

摘要

The size, eight, performance and thermal management of hybrid- electric power systems are limited by the performance of available silicon power devices. Potential improvements afforded by wide bandgap silicon carbide devices have been confirmed in Army programs, but the commercially available material severely limits performances. Superlattice silicon carbide material addresses the key limitations of this material; quality, size, cost, and incompatibility with silicon processing. Wide bandgap superlattice silicon carbide material has recently been grown on 4-inch diameter silicon substrates by NanoDynamics-88, Inc/C9 Corp.
