Passive Component Advances for Wide Bandgap Semiconductors

Active components made of WBG materials exhibit outstanding electrical and physical performance that is well documented and understood. This presentation will cite examples of advances in capacitors that allow WBG active devices to operate in more ideal conditions and fulfill their maximum performance capabilities. Examples of reduced parasitic loss capacitors are shown in RF applications such as broadband AC stage coupling and output filtering. Examples of advances in capacitor packaging materials and design are then shown relative to the capacitor needs of WBG power devices.
