Microwave Semiconductor High-power Devices and their Applications

Semiconductor Devices and Their Use in Power Electronic Applications

Power semiconductor devices are the key electronic components used in power electronic systems. The solid-state power electronic revolution started with the invention of the thyristor or Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) in 1956, and many power semiconductor devices have been produced since then. Advances in semiconductor technology have improved the efficiency of electronic devices which resu...
