GaN vs SiC power switches: benefits, limits and gate-drive challenges in EV electronics

GaN power switches offer real advantages over silicon in some EV power-electronics designs, but their varied device structures, gate-drive requirements and layout tradeoffs complicate adoption. SiC MOSFETs remain the more popular wide-bandgap choice for EV and hybrid applications thanks to higher thermal conductivity and junction-temperature tolerance.
