NEXT GENERATION POWER ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING INNOVATION INSTITUTE


PowerAmerica is working to make wide bandgap semiconductor technologies cost-competitive with silicon-based power electronics. The Institute is bringing many of the world’s leading wide bandgap semiconductor manufacturers, material providers and end-users together with experts from top research universities and government agencies not only to reduce the cost, but also improve the performance and reliability of wide bandgap Semiconductors.

Becoming a member of PowerAmerica allows us to join together in a cooperative effort to develop a better understanding of wide bandgap semiconductor power electronics manufacturing processes and product development, stimulate innovation in many industries that can incorporate wide bandgap semiconductors into their products, promote workforce development needed for these industries to thrive, and provide academic institutions with strengthened educational capabilities in these fields. As a member you will aid in accelerating the commercialization of wide bandgap semiconductor power electronics.


Why is PowerAmerica so important?

Executive Director, Nick Justice, and Deputy Director, John Muth, discuss the importance of wide bandgap semiconductors.
