Enhancement-mode JFET eliminates 50% of energy losses in power semiconductors
Semisouth Laboratories, inc. and the Center for Advanced Vehicle Systems (CAVS) at Mississippi State University announced today that Semisouth's enhancement-mode Silicon Carbide (SiC) Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) significantly improved the efficiency of an offthe- shelf inverter commonly used in residential and commercial solar power energy systems. CAVS provided guidance and precision test equipment required to measure and validate the efficiency improvement.
