Project description
Advancing sustainable power electronics
Demand for energy-efficient electronics is intensifying, increasing the need for sustainable semiconductor technologies. Traditional power electronics face limitations in efficiency and recyclability, posing challenges for future technological advancements. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, the REGEN-PE project aims to revolutionise power electronics through the development of advanced YAlN layers. This innovation is poised to enhance performance and pioneer sustainable practices in semiconductor manufacturing. With a focus on both high efficiency and affordability, REGEN-PE is committed to advancing recycling solutions and setting a new standard for eco-friendly power electronics.
Objective
REGEN-PE is driven by the vision to revolutionize power electronics by developing high-quality YAlN layers that not only enable affordable ultra-efficient performance but also promote sustainability through recycling. To achieve this ambitious goal, we adopt an ambitious approach that combines material density functional theory (DFT) simulations, sputtering and MOCVD for epitaxy, along with chemical and optical characterization techniques for material development. The project includes the successful integration of YAlN into cutting-edge electronic device structures, projected to surpass the GaN performance limit, which requires their design, fabrication, and electrical characterization. However, what sets the REGEN-PE project apart is its unwavering commitment to sustainability. By developing a novel method for material recovery, we aim to establish a precedent for recyclable semiconductor technology. REGEN-PE promotes a circular engineering approach, which sets the stage for the future of high-performance green power electronics.
