Abstract :
Summary form only given. Wide bandgap transistor developments described in this work include CW SiC SITs with output powers at L-band of 16 W/cm, and increased breakdown voltage SITs having a 400 V blocking voltage and 35 W/cm output power. Progress with pulse devices includes a 800 W UHF SIT and a 900 W L-band SIT. In SiC power switching the SiC BJT is being explored for high speed, high efficiency applications
