And yes, we’ve got a solution for that.

MEMS devices have become well established as critical components in a wide range of everyday applications. Accelerometers and gyroscopes improve safety in automotive applications, RF filters enable wireless connectivity in mobile phones, and MEMS microphones are at the heart of voice control technologies that connect us to an ever-increasing range of smart, consumer products.

Developers are now looking to the next generation of MEMS devices that will enable new applications and improve the performance of existing solutions. Capacitive based MEMS devices have proven to be highly successful, but after significant improvements of both design and manufacturing it is becoming increasingly difficult to improve their performance. To overcome this challenge, designers are looking to Piezoelectric based MEMS devices that can offer a paradigm shift in capability.

In this webinar, discover Lam Research’s solution– a pioneering approach to thin film deposition.

SiC—Silicon Carbide Webinar #3: Bidirectional SiC and GaN Switch Technology

There are numerous mass volume power applications where it is necessary to control the flow of bidirectional power, including electric vehicles (vehicle to grid, vehicle to home, and vehicle to vehicle), distributed and grid-tie power systems using regenerated energy and/or energy storage components, and solid-state circuit breaker protection. Silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) based bidirectional power switches can enable these applications with their compelling advantages of high efficiency, high blocking voltage capability, and low system weight and volume.  In particular, monolithic switches that allow for bidirectional symmetric conduction and voltage blocking with a chip area close to that of a similarly rated unidirectional switch are ideally suited to fuel a revolution in power electronics technology. Today, monolithic bidirectional (MBD) power semiconductor switches are not commercially available. Instead, back-to-back (anti-series) connection schemes of unidirectional power MOSFETs or IGBTs are typically used, resulting in a 4X penalty in chip area and high cost. However, various types of SiC and GaN bidirectional concepts are being investigated including bonded-wafer bidirectional IGBTs, monolithic dual-gate bidirectional GaN switches, and monolithic back-to-back connected SiC MOSFETs and JFETs.

In this presentation, the semiconductor technology of SiC and GaN bidirectional switches will be reviewed including their operating principles, and their lateral and vertical geometry configurations. The performance advantages of MBD switches will be highlighted. Promising MBD devices reported to date will be analyzed, and the key bidirectional switch applications of solid-state circuit breakers and current-source-inverters will be discussed. As SiC and GaN devices approach mass commercialization propelled by insertion in electric vehicles and consumer electronics, respectively, fabrication of SiC/GaN MBD switches is becoming economically viable enabling their wide adoption in key volume applications.

The healthcare industry has transformed over the last twenty-five years due to the co-development of diagnostics along with state-of-the-art therapeutics and treatments; notably, this has led to the field of companion diagnostics. The best example of this is the prescribed use of insulin based on glucose levels monitored via test strips or the continuous glucose monitor. The future goal of medicine is to have truly personalized treatment protocols based on an individual’s biometrics, physiology, and exposure.  

However, this goal requires further identification and quantitation of biomarkers and health exposures, both biological and chemical, both at the point-of-care as well as in real-time.  Therefore, technologies are needed that can miniaturize current diagnostics to make them inexpensive, simple-to-use, and ideally wearable. 

However, where and what to sense remains a critical question to solve, as each biofluid, including blood, sweat, saliva, tears, breath, and exhaled breath condensate contains a different profile of biomarkers. Additionally, biomarkers have vastly different physiochemical properties and abundances, which present different challenges as well as require a range of sensing modalities.  Therefore, this course will be an overview of the “What, Where, and How of Sensing to Meet Current and Future MedTech Needs”.  At the end of the course, a perspective of where these technologies can impact the future of health outcomes will be presented as well as key considerations for future technologies to gain commercial acceptance
