MOS gated power devices are now available for power switching applications with voltage blocking requirements up to 1 kV and current ratings up to 300A. This is due to the invention of the IGBT, a device in which MOS gate turn-on leads to minority carrier injection to modulate the high resistance drift region required for voltage blocking. The paper presents current technologies being developed in order to expand the applications of MOS gated power devices. Also explained is the available trench gate technology that can be used to fabricate power devices.

The invention provides a multilayer electronic device having electrodes, formed on a laterally extending first layer, the lateral position of each of at least two adjacent electrodes being defined by a channel in the first layer. Each channel is adjacent a deposition region, the material which forms each electrode substantially covering the deposition region to form a continuous conductive structure.

Superradiance (SR), or cooperative spontaneous emission, has been predicted by R. Dicke before the invention of the laser. During the last few years one can see a renaissance of both experimental and theoretical studies of the superradiant phase transition in a variety of media, ranging from quantum dots and Bose condensates through to black holes. Until recently, despite of many years of research, SR has been considered as a phenomenon of pure scientific interest without obvious potential applications. However, recent investigations of the femtosecond SR emission generation from semiconductors have opened up some practical opportunities for the exploitation of this quantum optics phenomenon. Here we present a brief review of some features, advantages and potential applications of the SR generation from semiconductor laser structures
