Research abstract
GaNify LLC will develop 10-kV 10-A power diode prototypes for medium-voltage power electronics systems. The medium-voltage power diodes are based on a novel charge-balanced GaN super-heterojunction technology, which already demonstrated ~2X higher effective E-field, scalability to over 10 kV, and ~3X lower on-resistance over the existing wide bandgap semiconductor technology. This project will study scalability, manufacturability, and reliability of this technology, aiming at developing engineering prototypes to be used in the next-stage of R&D. Outcome of this project will inform future directions of medium-voltage power electronics technology.
