In its new series of SiC MOSFETs, Rohm uses trench structures for 650V and 1200V products, while 1700V products use planar structures
After more than five years since SiC MOSFETs were first released, they are gradually penetrating different industries for power conversion applications. The market outlook is promising with a compound annual growth rate of 42% from 2015 to 2021. The forecast for 2017 is expected to be even better than previous years with increasingly positive signals from the industry.
Against this backdrop, Rohm offers a series of new SiC products at different voltages. It appears that it uses trench structures for 650V and 1200V products, while 1700V products use planar structures.
The SCT2H12NZGC11 is a 1700V SiC MOSFET from Rohm for industrial and commercial power application such as power supplies. The device offers a quite low on-resistance but very high current density and integrates the second generation high-voltage SiC power MOSFET dies, which now achieve 3.7A current.
Thanks to the die design the device’s cost is very competitive. The gate structure is very simple and the packaging is optimized to save costs.
The report presents a deep technology analysis of the packaging and components with images of the planar SiC structure.

Take a look at the fifth generation of EPC’s low voltage transistor
The low voltage GaN device market is increasingly important, and Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (EPC) is a major player in low voltage GaN-on-silicon high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) devices. 100V GaN HEMTs are a very new technology but they already compete with silicon transistors, especially in the field of megahertz high frequency applications.
System Plus Consulting has investigated the company’s EPC2045 device, its latest driving 100V for applications such as single-stage 48V converters, USB-C data and power connectors, LiDAR sensors, point-of-load converters and loads in open rack server architectures.
With its new transistor and GaN epitaxy design, the EPC2045 achieves a breakdown voltage of 100V for a current of 16A at 25°C, and a very low RdsOn on-resistance of 7mΩ compared to the previous generation.
The chip-scale packaging of EPC products reduces the final device cost and decreases its inductance, bringing advantages not only with respect to competitors in GaN, but also silicon.
Compared to silicon transistors, GaN process developments have significantly lowered capacitance. This translates into lower gate drive losses and lower device switching losses at higher frequencies for the same on-resistance and voltage rating.

Thermo Fisher Ion 520 DNA Sequencing Chip 2017 teardown reverse costing repor...Yole Developpement
Next generation of silicon/polymer microfluidic technology for fast throughput DNA sequencing from Thermo Fisher Ion Torrent®
Today a main challenge in life science research is to reduce the price of genomic analysis, and the time taken to do it. Back in 2003, the cost of sequencing the human genome was almost $3B. That decreased to $10,000 in 2011, and is headed towards $1,000 in the next few years.
Thermo Fisher, with 8% of the microfluidic product market, is one of the companies most involved in sequencing applications, along with its rival Illumina. However, the two companies have different objectives.
Thermo Fisher intends to reduce analysis time with fast throughput and short single-end reads. Illumina has high throughput with short paired reads. To deliver fast reading, Thermo Fisher uses Ion Torrent® technology, which relies on technology similar to an image sensor.
The innovative Ion 520 DNA sequencing chip uses this Ion Torrent technology. It includes a multiwell array, which captures the sphere particles that have DNA attached. The particles react with a solution of nucleotides, which changes the charge in the wells, which in turn is detected by the circuit and allows the DNA sequencing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
