Fan-Out SiC MOSFET Power Module in an Organic Substrate

Integrating a Photovoltaic Panel and a Battery Pack in One Module: From concept to prototype

Photovoltaic (PV) solar energy is variable and not completely predictable; therefore, different energy storage devices have been researched. Among the variety of options, electrochemical cells (commonly called batteries) are technically feasible because of their maturity and stability. However, PV-battery systems face multiple challenges such as...

Carbon nanotube based solutions for on-chip thermal management

The performances of microelectronic and optoelectronic devices are often severely limited by high temperatures and insufficient heat management. Therefore, when considering device fabrication and packaging, it is important to select materials based on their thermal performance. The increasing demand for more integrated functionality and...

Thermal management of High-Current Bidirectional Isolated DC-DC Converters

Thermal management of solid state lighting module

Solid-State Lighting (SSL), powered by Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs), is an energy-efficient technology for lighting systems. In contrast to incandescent lights which obtain high efficiency at high temperatures, the highest efficiency of LEDs is reached at low temperatures. The thermal management in LED product is then a key design parameter as...

Three-dimensional integration of power electronic converters on printed circuit board

The current construction technology for PCB assembled power converters is based on the assembly of pre-manufactured discrete components. Fundamental limits of this construction method are steadily being reached as power converters tend to exploit higher processing speeds to gain advantages in both magnetic component size and overall power...
