The partners in a new publicly-funded European research project announced details of the multinational/multidisciplinary program called LAST POWER (’Large Area silicon carbide Substrates and heTeroepitaxial GaN for POWER device applications).
The aim of this 42-month ENIAC (European Nanoelectronics Initiative Advisory Council) project is to provide Europe with strategic independence in the field of wide band gap (WBG) semiconductors. This field is of major strategic importance as it involves the development of highly energy-efficient systems for all applications that need power, from telecommunications to automotive, from consumer electronics to electrical household appliances, and from industrial applications to home automation.
