EPE'23 ECCE Europe: Focus Topic 5 - Emerging Power Electronic Devices and Semiconductors

Chair: Kevin HERMANNS, PE-Systems GmbH, Germany
Co-Chair: Subham SAHOO, Aalborg University, Denmark

The strive to a more electric and an all-electric society leads to a stronger demand for higher efficiency, improved reliability and ruggedness of the utilized power electronics. Emerging SiC, GaN and the FETs made from them already unlock new designs with only the beginning of an accelerated development towards ever more efficient and better components.  

New materials, heterogeneous integration or bi-directional switches are just some of the trends that will lead to ever new possibilities in power electronics. 

The focus topic on emerging power electronic devices and semiconductors gives the visibility it needs and brings experts together to exchange new concepts, paving the way for the next steps toward the all-electric society.
