Global semiconductor manufacturer Nexperia and the Hamburg University of Technology (TU Hamburg) have launched an endowed professorship in power electronic devices \u2013 a crucial field for the advancement of energy-efficient technologies. The position, held by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Kapels, will drive research into next-generation semiconductor components and train highly skilled engineers at TU Hamburg\u2019s School of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics. As part of this initiative, Prof. Kapels will also lead the newly founded Institute for Power Electronic Devices.<\/p>\n

The new institute will focus on power semiconductors based on Silicon, SiC, GaN and aluminum scandium nitride (AlScN), new device architectures, including vertical GaN structures and machine-learning-based fault prediction systems. Additional research priorities include modeling the reliability and ruggedness of power devices under extreme operating conditions.<\/p>\n
