dc.description.abstractPower semiconductor devices are key to delivering high-efficiency energy conversion in power electronics systems, which is critical in efforts to reduce energy loss, cut carbon dioxide emissions and create more sustainable technology. Although the use of wide or ultrawide-bandgap materials will be required to develop improved power devices, multidimensional architectures can also improve performance, regardless of the underlying material technology. In particular, multidimensional device architectures—such as superjunction, multi-channel and multi-gate technologies—can enable advances in the speed, efficiency and form factor of power electronics systems. Here we review the development of multidimensional device architectures for efficient power electronics. We explore the rationale for using multidimensional architectures and the different architectures available. We also consider the performance limits, scaling and material figure of merits of the architectures, and identify key technological challenges that need to be addressed to realize the full potential of the approach.en
