Very interesting paper done by imec team sharing their breakthrough in GaN-on-Si power device fabrication onto 200mm wafers reaching 1200V rated transistor using a lateral HEMT structure with pGaN gate. The results have been achieved using QST wafers that from my current understanding seems quite important to reach high breakdown voltages having high buffer thickness mantaining a controlled wafer bow.

We’re excited to connect at the 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 in 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗵! During the event, we’ll showcase our involvement in the 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗜 project, focused on advancing UK Quantum Key Distribution receivers. We’re also pleased to highlight the valuable contributions of our partners to this initiative: For short-range communications, a four-channel SPAD system will leverage Phlux Technology's noiseless InGaAs technology, with packaging handled by Bay Photonics. For long-distance applications, a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) system will incorporate advanced SNSPDs developed by the University of Glasgow, a novel 1K cooling system from Chase Research Cryogenics, and a compact timetagger designed by RedWave Labs Ltd in Harwell. RedWave Labs Ltd will enhance control electronics and timetaggers for both systems, integrating them with an optical receiver module from the Fraunhofer UK Research Ltd (Fraunhofer CAP). These receivers will be utilized by the University of Cambridge to demonstrate entanglement-based discrete variable-QKD transmission over metro and long-haul networks using the BBM92 protocol, showcasing the scalability and performance of MARCONI technology. RedWave Labs Ltd, serving as the system integrator, will lead efforts to bring these advanced solutions to the rapidly growing QKD market.  MARCONI is backed by funding from Innovate UK under the Scalable Quantum Network Technologies: Collaborative R&D programme #SinglePhotonWorkshop2024 #QuantumTechnology #QuantumKeyDistribution #QKD #InnovateUK #ScalableQuantumNetworks #SPAD #SNSPD #InGaAs #QuantumSecurity #QuantumInnovation #SecureCommunications #QuantumFuture

🏆 Congratulations to Fei Huang, Hsing-Yen Tsai, Chi-Yu Huang, Yu-Chun Luo, Ching-Ho Li, Shao-Chang Huang, Yi-Hsiang Kao, Ke-Horng Chen, Kuo-Lin Zheng, Ying-Hsi Lin, Shian-Ru Lin, Tsung-Yen Tsai from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Chip GaN Power Semiconductor & Realtek Semiconductor Corp. for receiving the 2023 Takuo Sugano Award for outstanding Far-East paper! Their work, titled "3D Wireless Power Transfer with Noise Cancellation Technique for −62dB Noise Suppression and 90.1% Efficiency", presents a novel three-dimensional wireless power transfer (3D WPT) system designed to overcome spatial limitations inherent in traditional single-coil transmitters. By employing a central controller to manage three orthogonal transmitter coils, the system maintains efficient energy transfer regardless of the receiver's orientation. The central controller dynamically adjusts power distribution based on real-time coupling factor detection, ensuring high efficiency. Additionally, an advanced noise cancellation technique enhances communication between the transmitter and receiver, reducing interference. The results demonstrate a peak efficiency of 90.1% and a maximum output power of 40W per transmitter, with the ability to deliver up to 69W when leveraging all three transmitters, significantly improving the flexibility and reliability of wireless power transfer in 3D space.
