Performance Improvement Strategies for Discrete Wide Bandgap Devices: A Systematic Review

Wide bandgap (WBG) devices are becoming increasingly popular due to their excellent material properties. WBG devices are commercially available in discrete and module packages. Many studies have investigated the design, structure and benefits of module packages. However, a comprehensive and in-depth...
