Rydw i’n academydd sydd wrth fy modd gyda deunyddiau electronig lled-ddargludyddion cyfansawdd bandgap llydan (silicon carbid, galiwm ocsid a galiwm nitrid).

Ar ôl gweithio ym maes electroneg a dyfeisiau pŵer silicon carbid ers 2003, fy mhrif ddiddordeb yw ymchwilio i’r posibilrwydd o weithgynhyrchu’r dechnoleg hon drwy rwydwaith eang o bartneriaid diwydiannol.

Yn ddiweddar, rydw i wedi ymgymryd â nifer o brosiectau ymchwil o fewn maes bandgap gor-lydan galiwm ocsid ar gyfer defnydd electroneg pŵer. Yma, rydw i’n ceisio archwilio i ddichonolrwydd y deunydd newydd hwn o bersbectif masnachol (y cynnyrch).

EGLM00 Power Semiconductor Devices

Power semiconductor technology is a key enabling technology leading to more efficient power conversion. Historically, the development of electronic power devices can be traced to the early 1950s when thyristors capable of operating at high current and voltages were introduced. In the years to come, the most important development has been the introduction of power devices with high-input-impedance gate such as VDMOSFETs and IGBTs. This allowed a large reduction in system size and cost, leading to many new application for power electronics in domestic appliances and automotive and aviation electronics, for example.
