process with low cost but presents potential difficulty in
heat management.
In essence, driven by the requirements of commercial
markets, monolithic methods are unable to meet the
new design challenges of power conversion electronics.
While HI technologies are offering promising solutions
to power conversion electronics with further enhanced
switching frequency, power density, conversion ratio,
and efficiency.
