With reducing transistor sizes and increasing levels of integration, extracting the heat from electronic devices is an ongoing challenge. Conventional indirect-cooling approaches are hindered by thermal interfaces, as well as heat spreading to larger areas ...

Efficient and compact power conversion is a key requirement to achieve sustainable electrification of our society. GaN-based power devices offer major benefits compared to their silicon counterparts in terms of efficiency and integration but suffer from se ...

The dissipated energy (Ediss) related to the resonant charging/discharging of a transistor output capacitance, becomes a dominant loss factor for power converters operating in the MHz range. A recent work has introduced a small-signal measurement method to ...

The difficulty in accurately measuring losses in high-frequency power converters hinders accurate breakdown of losses which is essential for device and circuit optimization. Electrical methods are often not adequate and calorimetric approaches found in the ...

Wide-Band-Gap semiconductors have enabled considerable miniaturization of power devices, which requires, however, new thermal management solutions to handle the resulting high heat fluxes. Recently, embedded liquid cooling in GaN-on-Si devices was demonstr ...

Recent research has reported an undesirable OFF-state loss in high-frequency soft-switching power converters, such as resonant converters. This loss is attributed to a hysteresis loss related to the charging-discharging process of the output capacitance of ...
