Call for papers for a special issue of IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices on "ultra wide band gap semiconductors for power control and conversion"

This Special Issue of the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices will feature the most recent developments and the state of the art in the field of ultra wide band gap semiconductors and devices for power control and conversion, including both experimental results and theoretical developments. Papers must be new and present original material that has not been copyrighted, published or accepted for publications in any other archival publications, that is not currently being considered for publications elsewhere, and that will not be submitted elsewhere while under considerations by the Transactions on Electron Devices. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: IDtra Wide Band Gap Materials: Advances in material synthesis, defect characterization, transport and high-field properties, and material-level integration; evaluation of fundamental materials-limited figures of merit; Power Devices: Vertical and lateral MOSFETs, HEMTs and MIS-HEMTs, IGBTs, Schottky and pn junction rectifiers, and other device concepts; fabrication and device characterization; designs and device structures for controlling field profiles, edge termination; Thermal Management: Approaches to mitigate thermal effects in power devices using ultra wide band gap materials; Integration: Monolithic and heterogenous integration for system-level applications using ultra wide band gap materials. Integration with Si or other semiconductors for system-on-chip and system-in-package implementations, including heterogenous and package-level integration for high-performance power conversion applications.
