　　摘要：This presentation will review the development of SiC and GaN devices for power-switching application in the context of four specifically identified and explained application requirements: (1) high blocking voltage, (2) high power efficiency, (3) high switching speed, and (4) normally-off operation. Specific device and material characteristics, such as on resistance, parasitic capacitances, energy-gap values, etc., will be compared and discussed in relation to the identified application requirements. Following a review of the fundamental limitations of silicon as a material, the presentation will discuss the material advantages that motivated the development of commercially available Schottky diodes and transistors in SiC. In the final section, the presentation will analyze the potential of GaN to enable further technical progress beyond the theoretical limit of Si and even significant price reduction of power-electronic switches.
