While OEMs, tier-one suppliers, and market analysts generally agree that SiC and GaN will eventually share the market with incumbent Si technologies, the exact roadmap and time scale remain uncertain. A development in its relative infancy that IDTechEx expects to boost overall performance, volume capabilities, and cost, are engineered substrates.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/lower-cost-sic-and-high-voltage-gan-using-engineered-substrates/31672?rsst2id=230https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/lower-cost-sic-and-high-voltage-gan-using-engineered-substrates/31672?rsst2id=230Thu, 05 Sep 2024 ZZZj.li@idtechex.com (John Li) With the ever-increasing need for heat dissipation, high-performance thermal interface materials with higher thermal conductivity and other properties are becoming essential. Driven by this trend, a number of high-performance TIMs are emerging. This article primarily introduces the advantages and drawbacks of advanced carbon-based TIMs. However, it is worth noting that many other TIMs offer superior performance.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/high-performance-tims-beyond-traditional-tim-materials/31480?rsst2id=230https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/high-performance-tims-beyond-traditional-tim-materials/31480?rsst2id=230Thu, 01 Aug 2024 ZZZy.wang@idtechex.com (Yulin Wang) Efficiency is the key goal of electric vehicle development. This is especially true of power electronics, where one increasingly adopted approach is to integrate multiple functions into the same package. For automotive OEMs, this can result in reductions in overall weight to increase the efficiency of the vehicle while also reducing the cost of production.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/integrated-power-electronics-drive-electric-vehicle-costs-down/31436?rsst2id=230https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/integrated-power-electronics-drive-electric-vehicle-costs-down/31436?rsst2id=230Mon, 22 Jul 2024 ZZZj.li@idtechex.com (John Li) Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are composed of thermal fillers and matrix materials. Thermal fillers are highly thermally conductive substances, while matrix materials are typically used to enhance mechanical properties.https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/unlocking-secrets-tim-fillers-trading-insights-and-market-trends/31373?rsst2id=230https://www.idtechex.com/en/research-article/unlocking-secrets-tim-fillers-trading-insights-and-market-trends/31373?rsst2id=230Mon, 08 Jul 2024 ZZZy.wang@idtechex.com (Yulin Wang) Thursday 11 July 2024 - SiC, GaN, and the Evolution of Power Electronics.
