Compared with conventional silicon-based electronics, electronics employing wide-bandgap semiconductors promise better resistance against radiation damage. So, to better predict and mitigate radiation-induced damage of wide-bandgap semiconductors, the US Department of Defense has awarded a five-year, $7.5m Defense Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) Award to a new national collaboration led by Penn State University...
