The incessant demand for more efficient power semiconductors in energy conversion is accelerating the deployment of wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors in hybrid and electric vehicles. WBG devices are already finding application in critical EV systems like traction inverters, on-board chargers, and DC-DC converters, as well as in charging stations. The widescale adoption of SiC MOSFETs and GaN HEMTs promises efficiency gains across all application sectors and continues to sustain solutions for greener mobility.
