A pioneering team of scientists at Simon Fraser University have created a new type of silicon-based quantum device controlled both optically and electrically. A pioneering team of scientists at Simon ...

Historically, making a thin phone meant trading the usual battery for one that's slimmer and less robust. And what good is a thin phone with poor battery life? Up-and-coming silicon-carbon battery ...

Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. announced a new silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) power controller for precision control of lamp-based heating applications. Delivering unprecedented speed and ...

Silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs), also called thyristors, are semiconductor power devices with a four-layer three-way junction framework (PNPN). Because its intro in the 1950s, SCRs have been ...

TRIACs, devices derived from SCRs, offer advanced functionalities and greater versatility in both DC and AC applications. In the previous installment of the course, we explored “Silicon Controlled ...

The ultra-low-resistance 600 V super junction MOSFET improves system efficiency, miniaturization and thermal management in high-performance server applications. Built on WeEn’s most recent generation ...

The components are designed to meet the requirements of glass manufacturing, arc furnaces, rectifiers, and other high-current heating elements. Configuration options include separating control and ...

Old radios often had selenium rectifiers to convert AC to DC. The problem is that the old units, dating back to 1933, are prone to failure and to release dangerous chemicals like hydrogen selenide. [M ...

Markus Mosen, CEO of WeEn Semiconductors, presents the company’s SiC technologies, automotive grade power devices and high reliability IGBTs. At this year’s PCIM Europe in Nuremberg, Germany, Markus ...

A Silicon Valley startup is developing a hot rock battery that could be the next big thing in energy storage — and it’s coming to Europe. The giant brick toaster is the brainchild of San ...
