Power Electronics Development Trends
Power electronics and high-power semiconductor devices are of great importance in the national economy and are closely related to other industries. They can be considered a supporting infrastructure that ensures the functioning of different sectors of the economy. Currently, the main consumer of power electronics products is the manufacturing industry. In the future, the automotive industry may take the palm from it - due to the expansion of the use of electric/hybrid cars, as well as autonomous vehicles. The paper points out the relevance of power electronics to various industries and also assesses the transition from silicon-based devices to the advanced GaN and SiC technologies. The review looks at the trends in the power electronics market, with special attention to industrial and automotive, together with a glance at the growth in demand derived fromelectric and hybrid vehicles. Aside from that, further development of GaN-on-SiC technology and its prospects for application to high-power electronic devices are included in this work.
