“Diamond semiconductors” expected as next-generation power semiconductorsThe movement towards practical application is attracting attention. Compared to conventional semiconductor materials such as silicon, silicon carbide, gallium nitride, etc., diamond can operate at high temperatures and high voltagesExtremely superior propertiesFrom having”The ultimate semiconductor materialIt is also called”.Energy efficiency and radiation resistanceis also expensive,EV (electric vehicle), quantum computer, aerospace fieldsIt is expected to be used in
Japan is leading the development!
The development of diamond semiconductors in Japan is ahead of the world due to industry-academia collaboration.Saga UniversityIs 23/4/23,The world's first electronic circuit incorporating a semiconductor device using diamondsIt was developed. At the end of the same year, a startup from Waseda UniversityPower Diamond Systemssucceeded in passing a large current (6.8 amps) to the diamond semiconductor. Also, startups by Hokkaido University, etc.Okuma Diamond Deviceis developing diamond semiconductors for equipment used in decommissioning nuclear power plants.
