Roadmapping is a dynamic, ongoing process that guides PowerAmerica\u2019s strategic decisions and provides a common vision of the future for the WBG community to work toward.<\/p>\n<p>The document is really two roadmaps: one for SiC and one for GaN technology. The public version of the roadmap includes a new market forecast for WBG power electronics and analysis of SiC and GaN device cost based on market information. Additionally, a more detailed version of the roadmap, available to members only, outlines key markets and application areas for SiC and GaN power electronics, the performance targets GaN and SiC technologies are expected to meet over time, technical barriers to achieving those targets, and activities needed to overcome those barriers.
