Another step towards GaN power devices
27 June, 2008
IMEC and AIXTRON have demonstrated the growth of AlGaN/GaN heterostructures on 200 mm silicon wafers. This demonstration is another step towards fabricating low-cost GaN power devices for high-efficiency/high-power systems beyond the silicon limits.
Models make transistors more efficient
04 June, 2008
New models of how two types of power transistors perform that will result in more efficient smart electrical circuits, making technologies such as cars and home appliances more reliable and environmentally friendly, have been developed by European researchers.
Alternative to silicon chip
04 June, 2008
A transistor that uses gallium nitride (GaN) instead of silicon has been invented. It can reduce power consumption and improve the efficiency of power electronics systems in everything from motor drives and hybrid vehicles to house appliances and defence equipment.

Erni Electronics has upgraded its hard metric universal power module to include new 5-, 6- and 7-pin versions. The UPMs augment the existing 3-pin power modules and match their current carrying capacity of 18A per contact (at 20ºC).
Vectek electronic switch
01 June, 2008 | Supplied by: Vectek Electronics Ltd
An electronic switch has been released by New Zealand company Vectek Electronics. To achieve high reliability it is often necessary to switch to an alternative power supply quickly but without connecting the two supplies together and transferring any fault that may be present.
LCDs made from graphene
13 May, 2008
Researchers at the University of Manchester in England have produced tiny liquid crystal devices with electrodes made from graphene — a development that could lead to computer and TV displays based on this technology.
Transistor Holy Grail nearer
13 May, 2008
Better switching performance of transistors of disordered silicon films can be achieved by making the conduction channel in the device very thin, according to research at the University of Surrey in England.
