摘要
The latest results obtained in the development of high-power devices based on wide-gap semiconductors are examined. It is shown that at present silicon carbide remains the most promising material for high-temperature, radiation-resistant, high-power electronics. Certain factors involving a wide commercial adoption of SiC-based devices are examined. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S1063- 7826(99)01809-8].
