Summit Showcases GaN Developments For Improving EVs, Lighting, And Solar Power

Focus:

In last month’s column, Bindra reported on the silicon carbide-based devices and solutions featured in the technology showcase of ARPA-E’s Energy Innovation Summit. In this issue, he discusses the gallium nitride (GaN) based devices and solutions exhibited by companies such as Delphi, HRL Laboratories, and Transphorm as well as universities such as MIT and Virginia Tech. These exhibits illustrate how the development of GaN power semiconductors is enabling creation of highly advanced power converters for electric vehicles, LED lighting, solar power, and other applications.
