Strategies for Wide-Bandgap, Inexpensive Transistors for Controlling High Efficiency Systems (SWITCHES) (STTR)

Description:

This program seeks to fund transformational advances in wide bandgap (WBG) materials, device fabrication, and device architectures. The goal of this program is to enable the development of high voltage (1200V+), high current (100A) single die power semiconductor devices that, upon ultimately reaching scale, would have the potential to reach functional cost parity with silicon power transistors while also offering breakthrough relative circuit performance (low losses, high switching frequencies, and high temperature operation). These transformational technologies would have promise to reduce the barriers to ubiquitous deployment of low-loss WBG power semiconductor devices in stationary and transportation energy applications.
