"Silicon power MOSFETs have served as the backbone of power conversion systems for decades, offering a well-balanced combination of performance, cost, and manufacturability across a wide range of applications. From point-of-load converters to motor drives and battery systems, silicon has remained the dominant technology due to its maturity and scalability.
However, as efficiency requirements tighten and power density targets continue to rise, a prevailing narrative has emerged suggesting that silicon has reached its fundamental limits. This perspective reflects silicon’s intrinsic material limits, yet recent innovations in device architecture and process technology have pushed performance beyond what those limits were once thought to allow."
