Q&A: Wide Bandgap Semiconductors Poised to Make a Splash

Q&A: Wide Bandgap Semiconductors Poised to Make a Splash

This article was originally published here on June 10, 2020. With silicon nearing its physical limits, electronics manufacturers are turning to non-traditional semiconducting materials, notably wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors. Some are adopting these technologies to hit cost and performance targets that otherwise can’t be reached, and while others seek to differentiate their products from their competitors’.…
