Comet : We are connecting ever more things to the internet.

As data generation increases exponentially year over year, driven by data hungry AI and connected smart devices, so does the need for systems to process and store that information. Data centers are power-hungry and every percentage point in efficiency gained means a huge impact economically and ecologically.

Attending Semicon Taiwan's Power and Opto Semiconductor Week(held in September) we learnt that solutions are emerging and evolution is underway. What if semiconductors could be the key to sopower challenges more than the problem?

One such evolution is the move to compound, wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductor chemistries for power electronics. These next generation semiconductors can provide a step up in efficient power usage for a wide range of applications, including for data centers.
