Our main objective is to develop simple and compact production systems which provide varieties of products with adequate quantities, contributing to efficient energy use and low environmental impact, and finally to establish a recycling based industrial structure. To achieve this goal we are investigating the following three core technologies, particularly mutual integration of these technologies: 1) high-temperature high-pressure chemical engineering, 2) inorganic material processing technology and 3) integrated reaction systems. We are also making use of AIST's network to achieve our research objectives. Through our consortium activities we are contributing to local communities by reducing the environmental load of the manufacturing industry, creating new additional value of their products and the local resources.【 Deputy Director 】 Tatsuo TsunodaAdvanced Power Electronics Research CenterEfficient handling of electric power based on new electronics using widegap semiconductorsURL : http://unit.aist.go.jp/adperc/ci/E-mail : adperc_info-ml@aist.go.jpAIST Tsukuba Central 2, 1-1-1 Umezono, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8568, Japan Tel: (029) 861-5907 / Fax: (029) 861-5032 (from outside Japan: Tel: +81-29-861-5907 / Fax: +81-29-861-5032)【 Research Base 】 AIST Tsukuba (Central, West)Power electronics, represented by inverters used in home appliances and industrial equipment, is a key technology to control electric energy, and is currently based on silicon power devices. However, their performance limits will be revealed. Our goals are to develop wafer technology of widegap semiconductors such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) and their power device technology; to extend such technologies to a power electronics integration technology consisting of circuit, module/packaging, and control that makes full use of the performance of widegap semiconductor devices; and to make a breakthrough for the current performance limits by making optimal use of this system. The ultimate goal is to establish fundamentals of novel electronics for energy handling.【 Director 】 Hajime Okumura【 Deputy Director 】Hiroshi Yamaguchi【 Outline 】【 AIST Participating Technology Research Association 】R&D Partnership for Future Power Electronics Technology (FUPET)45 mmΦ4H-SiC bulk single crystal3 inch 4H-SiC waferSmall-size, high-efficiency inverter using SiC semiconductor devices4H-SiC switching device16Organization and OutlineEnvironment and Energy
