Project Name | Diamond Optically Gated Junction Field Effect Transistor |
Project Detail | Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is developing a semiconductor transistor device to enable future grid control systems to accommodate higher voltage and current than conventional devices. The team seeks to build a high-power diamond optoelectronic device that has the inherent advantages of diamond’s superior properties relative to other wide- and ultrawide-bandgap semiconductor materials. Three of the proposed devices in series would be able to support more than 6 kilovolts, almost double that of existing wide-bandgap commercial options. |
