PowerAmerica’s 10th Anniversary <\/h2>\n
To help celebrate our anniversary, we’ve created a special webpage that highlights some of the most significant achievements of our first 10 years.<\/p>\n \n
\n \n See what we’ve achieved<\/span>
PowerAmerica, a proud member of Manufacturing USA<\/a>, brings together the brightest minds in the wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor world. Semiconductor manufacturers and companies that use power semiconductors in their products are working together to accelerate the adoption of next-generation silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) power electronics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SiC and GaN semiconductors improve the performance of power electronics systems beyond the limits of traditional silicon-based designs.<\/p>\n\n\n
