Abstract :
Improving the voltage, current, and switching capabilities of power electronics devices makes for more efficient control of power and energy. Interface with microprocessors for protection from unfriendly environments is also an asset. The author discusses the development of power electronic devices using MOSFETs, insulated gate transistors, and MOS controlled thyristors. The future of SiC based devices is also discussed
