Power Semiconductor Device and Packaging (PSDP)

PSDP group focuses on the  development of advanced power devices based on Si and wide bandgap materials (WBG). WBG materials that are researched by the PSDP group includes SiC, GaN and GaO. Both vertical and lateral power devices are being developed. The PSDP group is especially interested in developing medium voltage power switches and rectifiers. The packaging research focuses on how to achieve high temperature operation (>200oC), how to minimize power loop and driving loop parasitic inductance and how to achieve high power density through 3D packaging of system in package (SIP) integration of power devices and passive components.
