Alter RADNEXT Transnational Access reviewers have accepted technology HISiC (Heavy Ions tolerant SiC diodes configurations) project proposal with H2020 funding. SiC weakness under heavy ions radiation is not a secret. The radiation improved SiC multi-die configuration modules will be tested in this project, demonstrating SOAs (Safe Operating Area) up to voltages requested by industry.

Silicon Schottky diodes are widely used in applications where high-speed switching is required to achieve more efficient systems due to their fast recovery time and low forward voltage. However, this type of diode has a lower reverse voltage (with a maximum typically around 100 V) than conventional rectifier diodes. Furthermore, the leakage current losses are higher.

Hybrid sodium-ion capacitors (SICs) bridge the gap between supercapacitors (SCs) and batteries and have huge potential applications in large-scale energy storage. However, designing appropriate anode materials with fast kinetics behavior as well as long cycle life to match with the cathode electrodes remains a crucial challenge.
