This post by Knowles Precision Devices blog describes how ceramic capacitors have inherent properties that align well with the requirements of GaN-based power electronic designs. Defense applications tend to operate at high voltages and wide temperature ranges. They require components with increased efficiency, reduced size, and high-power density. Because a wideband gap (WBG) semiconductor embodies these characteristics, defense and aerospace systems are increasingly using...

Full paper download This paper explains layer-by-layer fabrication method, where nanocomposite dielectrics are printed by successive depositions of ultra-thin layers of a room-temperature-stable polymer ink. The work explores two polypropylene-based inks in industry-friendly solvents that are then used to fabricate capacitor devices. The paper was presented by William Greenbank, Centre for Industrial Electronics, SDU University of Southern Denmark, Denmark at the 4th PCNS 10-14th September 2023, Sønderborg,...
