Solidstate Electronic Devices

This book prestigiously covers our current understanding of SiC as a semiconductor material in electronics. Its physical properties make it more promising for highpowered devices than silicon.

This book prestigiously covers understanding of SiC as a semiconductor material in electronics. Its physical properties make it more promising for highpowered devices than silicon. The volume is devoted to the material and covers methods of epitaxial and bulk growth. Identification and characterization of defects is discussed in detail. The contributions help the reader to develop a deeper understanding of defects by combining theoretical and experimental approaches.

This book analyzes the thermal characteristics of power electronic devices (PEDs) with a focus on those used in wind and solar energy systems. The authors focus on the devices used in such applications, for example boost converters and inverters under different operating conditions. The book explains in detail finite element modeling techniques, setting up measuring systems, data analysis, and PEDs’ lifetime calculations.
