What: "Development of Manufacturable SiC Transistors for High Temperature Applications"
Amrita gives the New England Chapter an update to what she presented at the iMAPS HiTec Conference in April 2025, in Albuquerque, NM
"There is a growing desire for manufacturable microelectronics that operate reliably beyond 300 °C"
There is a growing desire for manufacturable microelectronics that operate reliably beyond 300 °C due to trends in the power density of microelectronic modules and the need for advanced prognostics of jet engines, industrial processes and power generation. However, a commercially available, low voltage microelectronics solution does not exist today. In this work, we present the development of a SiC transistor capable of low voltage and high temperature operation. We present progress to-date, including carrier mobility, contact resistance and high temperature transistor data, as well as a glimpse into the first generation process design kit for the technology. We also discuss challenges, both in prototyping and manufacturing.
Amrita oversees an R&D portfolio comprising rugged microelectronics, RF filter technologies, MEMS, HEMTs, power electronics, power sources, additive manufacturing and thermal management. She is a subject matter expert in semiconductor device design, modeling and simulation, fabrication and testing.
