While solder fatigue and wire lift offs have been the main limiting
factors for the lifetime of conventional modules, new technologies for
assembly and packaging of semiconductors have emerged and new module
generations achieve much longer lifetime. This webinar will provide you
some guidance for the selection of the most reliable material
combination and design of the substrates.
Let’s begin by pointing out that there are some myths
associated with silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET technology today. One is
that it's taken as an expensive technology, and it may be true that in
some voltage classes, SiC MOSFETs are more expensive than similar
silicon devices. ...
There will always be innovation barriers which make it quite hard
and complicated to use novel technologies and materials like GaN. But
let's assume that these obstacles can be overcome. Which brings us to
the next question, which is "What are the major challenges using this
Ga...

The data sheet forms the essential basis for the selection of the
right resistor. This white paper uses realistic calculation examples to
clearly illustrate how a data sheet can be used to choose the
appropriate resistor and what information is important.
Silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs are making major inroads into solar
inverters. But latest-generation SiC MOSFETs have their limitations.
This webinar zooms in for a closer look at these drawbacks and puts
forward solutions to resolve the issues at hand.
The areas historically served by silicon devices have in recent years
been taken over more often by Wide Band Gap Devices. In our virtual
