Abstract :
This paper presents an undergraduate student research project which involved a new power diode called the super barrier rectifier (SBR) diode. Several projects incorporating SBR diodes in dc-dc converters performed by undergraduate students will be described. Challenges in conducting these projects along with results will also be discussed.
