EPC Space launches rad Hard HEMTKY line
HEMT with embedded Schottky diode offers predictable conduction losses with no reverse recovery charge
EPC Space, a provider of radiation hardened GaN-on-silicon transistors and ICs, has announced the launch of HEMTKY product line.
A HEMTKY is a HEMT with an embedded Schottky diode. The presence of this antiparallel Schottky diode in the HEMTKY structure minimises third quadrant conduction losses in the absence of GaN HEMT synchronous driving.
One notable advantage of this technology, according to the company, are the predictable conduction losses with no reverse recovery charge. There is also reduced system sensitivity to half-bridge deadtime variance, and reduced negative voltage stress on gate drivers.
For 500-unit quantities, engineering models are priced at $212 each, while space level units are priced at $315 each.

Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
