In today’s information society, chips are undoubtedly the most important foundational support. In recent years, core chip technology has become a tool for the United States to maintain technological hegemony and suppress other … Read more
Today, let’s briefly discuss IGBTs in power semiconductors, which is currently a very popular track in the semiconductor industry chain. Power semiconductors are a core part of the entire industry, positioned after semiconductor materials and equipment. A term often mentioned here is “power devices”; some people think these two are the same, but they are … Read more
Power semiconductors are the core of energy conversion and circuit control in electronic devices, primarily serving functions such as power conversion, power amplification, power switching, circuit protection, inversion (DC to AC), and rectification (AC to DC). With the national push for energy substitution and energy-saving renovations, there is an urgent need for high-quality and high-efficiency … Read more
Semiconductors are commonly used components in the electrical appliances we use in our daily lives. How much do you know about semiconductors? Today, we will start with the most basic semiconductor power devices to gain a comprehensive understanding of the “past and present” of semiconductors. Power Electronic Devices are also known as power semiconductor devices, … Read more
Before we explain semiconductor chips, we should first understand two points. First, what is a semiconductor? Second, what is a chip? Semiconductor A semiconductor (semiconductor) refers to a material with electrical conductivity between that of an insulator (insulator) and a conductor (conductor) at room temperature. Materials with poor conductivity, such as coal, artificial crystals, amber, … Read more
