Power Electronics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A power electronics lab that studies everything from materials to systems in an integrated way.
AboutAbout the lab
Power electronics, tackled from materials to systems.
The Power Electronics Lab studies power electronics systematically, with a view from materials all the way to final products and systems.
Rather than treating materials, devices, modules, circuits, and systems separately, the lab aims to research and develop them in close coordination with one another.
The lab works with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) and the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK), and also actively pursues joint research with companies (industry-academia collaboration).
Undergraduates from the Department of Applied Science and Engineering in the School of Science and Engineering can join the lab as senior thesis students, and lab visits are accepted at any time.
Key terms
- Power electronics
- The field of technology that handles electrical energy. It spans a broad range from materials to devices, circuits, and systems
- SiC power semiconductor
- A semiconductor device for handling electric power, made from SiC (silicon carbide)
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies power electronics by connecting the whole chain of materials, devices, modules, circuits, and systems. It aims to build a group that can research and develop everything from materials to systems, and to train the people who will lead it.
*Illustrative imageIntegrated research from materials to systems
The lab does not treat the materials, devices, modules, circuits, and systems of power electronics as separate areas. It aims for research and development in which they are closely linked. The goal is to form a research group with a view from materials to final products and systems.
*Illustrative imageSiC device research with AIST and KEK
The lab prototypes SiC power semiconductors in the dedicated SiC semiconductor cleanroom at AIST, and carries out reliability evaluation and analysis as well as module analysis at the TIA Collaboration Building. With KEK, it collaborates on projects such as developing SiC devices for high-speed, high-voltage pulse generators.
