Project: Metrology in manufacturing compound semiconductors for power electronics
| Acronym | PowerElec (Reference Number: 20IND09) |
| Duration | 01/06/2021 - 31/05/2024 |
| Project Topic | Europe’s Green Deal aims for climate neutrality by 2050 . The implementation of semiconductors based on ‘wide bandgap ’ compounds such as Gallium nitride, Silicon Carbide and Gallium Oxide into power electronics have the potential to make lighting 75% more efficient, motor-driven appliances 40% more efficient, and consumer electronics up to 30% more efficient. However, material performance is highly sensitive to nanoscale defects. Present optical techniques do not have the resolution in the required range ( |
