Wide bandgap semiconductors permit devices to operate at much higher temperatures, voltages, and frequencies – making the power electronic modules using these materials significantly more powerful and energy efficient than those made from conventional semiconductor materials.<\/p>\n
Harnessing these capabilities can lead to dramatic energy savings in industrial processes, data centers, and consumer devices; increase electric vehicle driving range; and help integrate renewable energy onto the electric grid.<\/p>\n
