Semiconductors are materials with electrical conductivity Between conductors and insulators，allowing precise control of electron flow. Silicon, the most widely used semiconductor material, revolutionized electronics due to its abundance, stability, and ability to form intricate circuits. However, advancements in compound semiconductors like silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) are pushing boundaries further. These wide-bandgap materials offer superior thermal conductivity, higher voltage tolerance, and faster switching speeds, making them ideal for high-power applications in electric vehicles (EVs), 5G infrastructure, and renewable energy systems .
The magic of semiconductors lies in their ability to be engineered into components like diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits (ICs). For instance, diodes, a cornerstone of YFW’s product line, act as one-way valves for electricity, converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) in power supplies.
