Driving down the on resistance of silicon carbide transistors
https://www.electronics-lab.com/driving-resistance-silicon-carbide-transistors/
UnitedSiC has developed silicon carbide transistors in standard packages with the world’s lowest on resistance. Chris Dries, CEO, talks to Nick Flaherty about the significance of the move. UnitedSiC has launched four silicon carbide SiC transistors with the world’s lowest on resistance RDS(on) to open up new applications. “What we are doing is pretty incredible […]
A Carbon Nanotube Microprocessor Mature Enough to Say Hello
https://www.electronics-lab.com/carbon-nanotube-microprocessor-mature-enough-say-hello/
Did you know that researchers are looking for an alternative to silicon? Did you know in principle that Carbon Nanotubes processor could run three times faster while consuming about one-third of the energy of their silicon predecessor? The Engineers at MIT and Analog Devices have created the first fully programmable 16-bit Carbon Nanotube microprocessor. Since […]
Energy-efficient power electronics – gallium oxide power transistors with record values
https://www.electronics-lab.com/energy-efficient-power-electronics-gallium-oxide-power-transistors-record-values/
The Ferdinand Braun Institute for Highest Frequency Technology (FBH) in Berlin has achieved a breakthrough with transistors based on gallium oxide (ß-Ga2O3). The ß-Ga2O3 gallium oxide MOSFETs developed by FBH scientists provide a high breakdown voltage with high current conductivity. With a breakdown voltage of 1.8KV and a record power density of 155 megawatts per […]
Printed Two-Dimensional Transistors

Researchers from AMBER (Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research) and Trinity College (Dublin), together with the TU Delft have succeeded in producing printed transistors, which are made solely from two-dimensional nano materials. These materials have characteristics with much promise and, importantly, can also be produced very cheaply. Possible applications for this procedure are food packaging with […]
Increasing Battery Life With UB20M Voltage Detector

Engineers at the University of Bristol have developed a three terminal pico-power chip that can cut standby drain in sensor nodes – even compared with today’s low-power microcontrollers. It does this by replacing the low duty-cycle sleep-wake-sleep pattern used on MCU-based sensor monitors, with ‘off’. A voltage detector powered by the sensor – there is […]
