Power Devices and Systems
The Power Devices and Systems Group of IMB-CNM was established in 1985, has developed his research continuously since then and currently consists of 20 people. Its activity focuses on the design, fabrication, characterization and integration of power semiconductor devices, optimized for developing reliable and energy efficient converters and electronic systems, operating even in harsh environments (high temperature, radioactive environments, etc.). The devices developed by the group on different semiconductors (Si, SiC, GaN, diamond), are fabricated in the Clean Room of the IMB-CNM and cover various application fields (traction, protection, high frequency, space, high energy, etc.). The research work of the Group also aims to transfer the developed technology to national and international industry sector.
