Silicon, since it's right above germanium on the periodic table and has similar properties, might make a better gadget. But, they said, no one should expect a silicon transistor for years.

One is laid bare by [WizardTim], as he cross-sections a 20KV high-voltage diode. A conventional low-voltage silicon diode has a forward voltage drop of about 0.7V and a relatively low maximum ...

MALVERN, PA — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) has announced the launch of 16 new 650 V and 1200 V silicon carbide ...

SemiQ is aiming at solar inverters with 1,200V SiC mosfets that are avalanche tested to 800mJ, some co-packaged with silicon carbide Schottky diodes - all ...

It is the second course in the "Semiconductor Power Device" specialization that focusses on diodes, MOSFETs, and IGBTs but also covers legacy devices (BJTs, Thyristors and TRIACS) as well as ...
