Challenges and Evaluation Techniques of Next-Generation Power Electronics

Detailed explanation of the latest evaluation technologies for next-generation power semiconductor devices and materials, as well as cutting-edge simulation technologies.

This book, "Challenges and Evaluation Technologies of Next-Generation Power Electronics," is edited around silicon power semiconductors, which are currently the main players, and next-generation power semiconductor devices based on wide bandgap materials, which will be at the center of next-generation power electronics. It provides detailed introductions not only to semiconductor crystals, device design, process equipment, and high-temperature mounting technologies, but also to the latest evaluation technologies regarding material properties and device characteristics, as well as cutting-edge simulation technologies. It thoroughly covers a wide range of topics, including applications in automotive and communication devices, which are expected to grow significantly in the future, as well as developments in industrial equipment, including home appliances and railways. I hope this book will be greatly helpful in expanding the adoption of next-generation power semiconductor devices towards the realization of a decarbonized society.
