Description:
IGF::OT::IGF APIQ SEMICONDUCTOR PROPOSES DEVELOPMENT OF A SCALABLE, WIDE BANDGAP (WBG) MONOLITHIC POWER INTEGRATED CIRCUIT (MPIC) TECHNOLOGY FOR POWER ELECTRONIC CONVERSION, MANAGEMENT, AND DISTRIBUTION. THE PROPOSED WBG MICROELECTRONICS ARE TO BE BASED UPON LOW DEFECT, HOMOGENEOUS GALLIUM NITRIDE (GAN) BASED MATERIALS USING NATIVE GAN SUBSTRATES. THE TECHNOLOGY TO BE DEVELOPED WILL REPLACE SILICON POWER SWITCHES AND DRIVERS IN POWER ELECTRONICS SYSTEMS TO YIELD HIGH EFFICIENCY, HIGH DENSITY, RELIABLE MODULE BASED SYSTEMS. INCLUSIVE IN THE PROPOSAL ARE DEVICES FOR 1200 V OR MORE POWER SWITCHING AND DIGITAL INTEGRATION. DEVICES WILL BE EVALUATED FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE AND HEAVY ION RADIATION HARDNESS, WITH PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS OVER COMPETING TECHNOLOGIES EXPECTED FROM LOW MATERIALS DEFECTS AND CAREFULLY MANAGED ELECTRIC FIELD PROFILES.
