Beyond Silicon: Why Aluminum Nitride Could Revolutionize Power Electronics and UV Lasers

  The Promise Unlocked For decades, silicon has served as the cornerstone of semiconductor technology, but its performance falters under extreme thermal and electrical conditions. Enter aluminum nitride (AlN)—an ultrawide-bandgap (UWBG) material with a remarkable bandgap of 6.1 eV, placing it far ahead of conventional materials like silicon (1.1 eV), silicon carbide (3.3 eV), and…
