Wide-Bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, such as Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC), offer several key advantages in industrial applications. Their superior electron mobility and faster switching speeds compared to conventional Si devices result in reduced power losses and enhanced efficiency. Besides, WBG semiconductors thrive in high-temperature environments, ensuring reliability and reducing maintenance needs. Their fast switching speeds enable precise control, improving system responsiveness, especially in motor drives. Finally, WBG semiconductors contribute to compact and lightweight designs, optimizing space and facilitating flexibility in industrial setups.
Some key applications in which WBG power devices are playing a revolutionary role are, for example, UPS systems, where the compact design and efficiency of WBG semiconductors ensure reliable power supply during critical industrial operations or robotics and automation, for which the high-efficiency and reduced converter size enabled by WBG semiconductors are a key enabler.
In addition, WBG semiconductors play a pivotal role in renewable energy applications, such as solar inverters, where their high efficiency minimizes energy conversion losses, aligning industrial practices with sustainability goals.
