      Researchers from the Institut Carnot IFPEN Transports Energie have published a dissertation titled "Schottky diamond diodes in switching operation: a new step towards the future of power electronics" in IECON 2025 – 51st Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society.

Abstract

      In the rapidly advancing field of power electronics, the exploration and dynamic testing of Schottky diamond diodes represent a significant leap forward. This article presents comprehensive dynamic tests on these diodes, showcasing their performance under various conditions. The results indicate that diamond components are not only viable but also that they might become alternatives to traditional materials used in power electronics. With their exceptional thermal dependent behavior and electrical properties, diamond diodes will play a crucial role in the future landscape of power electronics. This study confirms the potential of diamond-based components to revolutionize the industry, offering a glimpse towards the future of power electronics.
